Sarcopenia - Age-Related Muscle Wasting and Weakness Mechanisms and Treatments /
Some of the most serious consequences of aging are its effects on skeletal muscle. 'Sarcopenia', the progressive age-related loss of muscle mass and associated muscle weakness, renders frail elders susceptible to serious injury from sudden falls and fractures and at risk for losing their f...
