Sarcopenia Attenuation

Meaning

Sarcopenia attenuation refers to the clinical and physiological strategy aimed at slowing the rate of age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. This proactive intervention is a crucial component of longevity and functional health, seeking to preserve muscle quality and quantity to maintain mobility, metabolic function, and overall physical resilience in older adults. Successful attenuation requires a multi-modal approach integrating both lifestyle modifications and targeted physiological support. The goal is to compress the period of functional decline at the end of life.
