Behind this somewhat barbaric term lies a very concrete reality:
Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of muscle mass and physical strength. Contrary to popular belief, it is not an inevitable consequence of aging. It is now recognized as a disorder in its own right, with significant implications for quality of life.
Why is this happening… and to whom?
Muscle decline actually begins as early as age 30 (!), but the process accelerates sharply around age 60.
