Mitigating Sarcopenia Risk

Meaning

Mitigating sarcopenia risk involves implementing proactive, evidence-based clinical and lifestyle strategies designed to slow, halt, or reverse the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging. This intervention is crucial for preserving functional independence, maintaining metabolic health, and reducing the risk of falls and frailty. Effective mitigation requires a multi-modal approach addressing both anabolic and catabolic drivers of muscle atrophy. Preserving muscle is fundamentally linked to overall hormonal and metabolic vitality.
