Loss of muscle mass

What is loss of muscle mass?

Muscle loss, also known as muscle atrophy, occurs when muscle cells shrink or degrade. This leads to a loss of muscle strength, coordination, and endurance. Some key causes of muscle loss include:

• Aging - As we get older, muscle naturally begins to break down faster than it can be rebuilt


• Inactivity - Not exercising leads to increased muscle breakdown over synthesis


• Poor nutrition - Consuming inadequate protein and calories leads to muscle wasting


• Illness - Certain diseases like cancer, kidney disease, etc. increase muscle loss

Muscle loss can begin as early as age 30 and progresses more rapidly after 50. The medical term for age-related muscle loss is sarcopenia and it impacts over 50 million Americans.

Some key signs you may be losing muscle include:

• Decreased strength


• More fatigue doing routine activities


• Weight loss, loose fitting clothes


• Frequent trips and falls
