Sarcopenia

Meaning

Sarcopenia is the progressive, age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, which significantly impacts mobility and metabolic health, often exacerbated by hormonal decline. This condition is a critical concern in wellness science because muscle tissue is a major site for glucose disposal and a reservoir for amino acids. Reduced muscle mass correlates strongly with decreased anabolic hormone effectiveness and increased frailty. We view this as a critical component of healthy aging management.
