Age-Related Loss of Muscle Mass and Strength
Age-related muscle wasting and increased frailty are major socioeconomic as well as medical problems. In the quest to extend quality of life it is important to increase the strength of elderly people sufficiently so they can carry out everyday tasks and to prevent them falling and breaking bones that are brittle due to osteoporosis. Muscles generate the mechanical strain that contributes to the...
متن کاملInflammatory markers and loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) and strength.
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to investigate whether high levels of serum interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), and alpha1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) were associated with the loss of muscle strength or muscle mass (sarcopenia) in older persons. SUBJECTS The study included 986 men and women of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam, with a mean age of 74.6 years (standard deviati...
متن کاملAge-related Changes in Muscle Strength of Healthy Japanese
Gravity-compensated extremity joint torque values were measured in approximately 1,000 healthy Japanese to test the hypothesis that young people in Japan have less muscle strength than older people. The extremity joint torque values of the women in their 20s were significantly lower than those of the women in their 40s, 50s, and/or 60s for six extremity joint torque parameters: wrist palmer fle...
متن کاملStructural basis of growth-related gain and age-related loss of bone strength
If bone strength was the only requirement of skeleton, it could be achieved with bulk, but bone must also be light. During growth, bone modelling and remodelling optimize strength, by depositing bone where it is needed, and minimize mass, by removing it from where it is not. The population variance in bone traits is established before puberty and the position of an individual's bone size and ma...
متن کاملAge-Related Variations of Muscle Mass, Strength, and Physical Performance in Community-Dwellers: Results From the Milan EXPO Survey.
OBJECTIVES Declining muscle mass and function are hallmarks of the aging process. The preservation of muscle trophism may protect against various negative health outcomes. Age- and sex-specific curves of muscle mass, strength, and function, using data from a large sample of community-dwelling people, are necessary. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two surveys (Longevity Check-up and Very Important Protei...
