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.
