Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by a loss of muscle mass and strength that is common in older adults. Sarcopenia can increase the risk of falls, fractures, and other health problems, and can contribute to a decline in overall health and wellbeing. To prevent sarcopenia, it is important to engage in regular physical activity, particularly strength-training exercises that can help to build and maintain muscle mass. Eating a diet that is high in protein and other important nutrients can also help to support muscle health and prevent the onset of sarcopenia.
