When you get up to your senior years, you may find yourself losing muscle, strength and function. This is a condition called sarcopenia. The main symptom of the condition is muscle weakness. It is caused primarily by the natural aging process, especially when you get to 60 years and above.
As you age, your body goes through certain changes that play a major factor in developing sarcopenia. For instance, your body doesn’t produce the same amount of proteins that your muscles need. When this happens, your muscle cells get smaller. In addition, as you grow older, changes in certain hormones — like testosterone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) — affect your muscle fibers. And this can lead to sarcopenia.
As you get older, especially above 60 years of age, you may find yourself with a condition called sarcopenia. Sarcopenia literally means “lack of flesh.” The most common symptom of sarcopenia is muscle weakness. Other symptoms include loss of stamina. walking slowly. trouble climbing stairs. poor balance and falls. decrease in muscle size. The most common cause of sarcopenia is the natural aging process. You gradually begin losing muscle mass and strength sometime in your 30s or 40s. This process picks up between the ages of 65 and 80. Rates vary, but you may lose as much as 8% of your muscle mass each decade. Everyone loses muscle mass over time, but people with sarcopenia lose it more quickly. Although aging tends to be the dominant factor, researchers have discovered other possible risk factors for sarcopenia. Inflammation and stress can contribute to sarcopenia. After injury or illness, inflammation sends signals to the body to tear down and then rebuild the damaged groups of cells. Chronic or long-term diseases can also result in inflammation that disrupts the normal balance of teardown and healing, resulting in muscle loss. Additionally, health issues can also cause more stress on the body and that can play a role in sarcopenia development. Conditions that may lead to inflammation throughout the body and impact on muscle mass include chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, COPD, kidney disease, and cancer. Also, lack of physical activity, obesity and lack of protein intake can contribute to this condition. Sarcopenia can be a serious problem. Once you’ve lost a lot of muscle and strength, you may struggle to do things such as getting out of chairs, opening jars, or carrying groceries. You also can become frail and have a higher risk of falls, broken bones, disability, and death. Can you reverse sarcopenia? Yes, you can regain some of your muscle mass at any age, with strength training and a diet that includes adequate protein.
