THE BRIEF

Health experts are warning that muscle mass loss, known as sarcopenia, can begin as early as the 40s, significantly impacting mobility and metabolic health in later years.

The study recommends a combination of resistance training, adequate protein intake, and regular cardiovascular exercise as the primary defense against age-related muscle decline.

Early intervention is crucial, as untreated sarcopenia is linked to a higher risk of falls, fractures, and chronic metabolic conditions in individuals over the age of 60.
