Strength and Lean Mass

Meaning

Strength and Lean Mass are two critical, interdependent physiological metrics that quantify the functional capacity and structural integrity of the human body. ‘Strength’ is the maximum force output of muscle, while ‘Lean Mass’ represents the total non-fat tissue, primarily muscle and bone. Clinically, maintaining or increasing both is a primary strategy for enhancing metabolic health, preventing sarcopenia, and extending healthspan, driven significantly by anabolic hormones.
