Decreased muscle mass - Hormone Wellness Clinic

What is decreased muscle mass?

Muscle mass naturally decreases as we age, a condition known as sarcopenia. This age-related loss of muscle mass, strength, and function starts around age 30 and accelerates after age 50. Some key points about decreased muscle mass:

• Causes - Sarcopenia is a natural part of aging but can be accelerated by inactivity, malnutrition, chronic diseases, and hormonal changes.
• Symptoms - Symptoms include feeling weaker, fatigue, slower walking speed, poor balance, and increased risk of falls and fractures.
• Diagnosis - Doctors use scans (like MRI), strength and function tests, and measurements of muscle mass to diagnose sarcopenia.
• Treatments - Treatment focuses on exercise, especially strength training; nutrition with adequate protein and calories; and sometimes supplements.

Now, decreased muscle mass doesn't have to be inevitable. The friendly folks at Hormone Wellness Clinic are experts at optimizing hormones for health, vitality, and body composition goals.
