Abstract
One of the most striking effects of age is the involuntary loss of muscle mass, strength, endurance, and function, termed sarcopenia. Muscle mass decreases approximately 3–8% per decade after the age of 30 and this rate of decline is even higher after the age of 60 This review article focuses on the changes that occur in muscles as we age, particularly the involuntary loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, which is termed sarcopenia. It also discusses the potentially treatable causes of this condition, such as age-related endocrine and nutritional changes, and inactivity . The article emphasizes the importance of weight training at 80% of 1RM for elderly individuals to reduce or prevent these changes that can interfere with their quality of life. Cross-sectional studies comparing young adults aged 18–45 years and older adults under 65 years old show significant differences. The median values of the reported rate of muscle loss are 0.47% per year in men and 0.37% per year in women
