Will Sarcopenia Do You In? Not If You Beat It Before Your Doctor Suspects It!
No decline with age is more dramatic and damaging than the decline in lean body mass. The good news is that it has nothing to do with age.
What is new?
Muscle strength, mass, and physical performance are the clinical metrics for sarcopenia and frailty diagnoses. We can now translate them into an early warning system and a benchmark for you to never get near this disability. Ever.
Why it matters
Sarcopenia’s conventional diagnostics are like a weather forecast that predicts rain when it’s already pouring. Unlike any other chronic age-related condition, sarcopenia is entirely preventable. Because it is disuse of muscle rather than getting on in years that erodes your physical performance and morphs you into a frail shadow of what could be you.
Where to go from here?
Use simple evidence-based metrics to assess your risk decades before crossing the frailty threshold, and take advantage of time-efficient, effective, and surprisingly unconventional exercise routines to beat sarcopenia and stay physically young.
