The impact of sarcopenia

The loss of muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, significantly impacts your health and quality of life.

Sarcopenia is associated with an increased risk of chronic disease such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and rheumatoid arthritis. It also correlates with higher mortality rates.

There is a link between low muscle mass and cognitive impairment. Exercise can release myokines that support brain health, and lower muscle mass is associated with greater cognitive decline.

Muscle mass is crucial for overall health, influencing the immune system and organ function. Loss of muscle mass can lead to a weakened immune response and impaired organ function.

Muscle loss affects the ability to perform daily activities, leading to fatigue and a decreased quality of life. It can also contribute to frailty and increased hospitalizations.

Muscle loss leads to reduced strength and mobility, increasing the risk of falls and fractures. This can result in a loss of independence and a greater need for long-term care.

Maintaining muscle mass through regular exercise and adequate nutrition is crucial for mitigating these impacts and improving health outcomes.
