Muscle Mass and Longevity: Strength for Healthy Aging
Educational information on evidence, limitations and individualized decisions.
Why does muscle matter?
Muscle strength and function support mobility, balance, independence and metabolic health as we age. More muscle does not guarantee a longer life.
What helps preserve it?
Progressive resistance training, adequate energy and dietary protein, recovery and individualized monitoring. Exercise loads must suit health and ability.
What happens during rapid weight loss?
Lean tissue can be lost along with fat. Individualized nutrition and training may reduce this risk; monitoring strength, intake and body composition is useful.
