Somatic Mass Preservation

Meaning

Somatic Mass Preservation is the proactive clinical and lifestyle strategy centrally focused on maintaining the total non-reproductive, functional body mass, primarily encompassing essential lean muscle tissue and critical bone mineral density, particularly in the face of inevitable aging or catabolic stress. This is a crucial, non-negotiable component of longevity medicine, as the progressive, age-related loss of muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, and bone density, or osteopenia, is a major, measurable driver of frailty, systemic metabolic dysfunction, and significantly reduced healthspan. The primary clinical goal is to sustain physical strength, metabolic reserve, and structural integrity throughout life.
