A growing body of scientific literature suggests that not only changes in skeletal muscle
mass, but also other factors underpinning muscle quality, play a role in the decline in …

Aging is often accompanied by declines in physical functioning which impedes older adults'
quality of life, sense of independence, and ability to perform daily tasks. Age-related …

The deterioration of skeletal muscle with advancing age has long been anecdotally
recognized and has been of scientific interest for more than 150 years. Over the past several …

Worldwide estimates predict 2 billion people will be aged over 65 years by 2050. A major
current challenge is maintaining mobility and quality of life into old age. Impaired mobility is …

The world population is ageing rapidly. As society ages, the incidence of physical limitations
is dramatically increasing, which reduces the quality of life and increases healthcare …

Age-related skeletal muscle atrophy appears to be a muscle group-specific process, yet only
a few specific muscles have been investigated and our understanding in this area is limited …

Aging is associated with decreases in muscle mass, muscle strength and muscle power,
with muscle strength declining at a higher rate than muscle mass, but at a lower rate than …

Aging is associated with a progressive decline of muscle mass, strength, and quality, a
condition described as sarcopenia of aging. Despite the significance of skeletal muscle …

Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that remarkably adapts to diverse stimuli including
exercise, injury, disuse, and, as discussed here, aging. Humans achieve peak skeletal …

Introduction: Age-related changes in muscle mass and muscle tissue composition contribute
to diminished strength in older adults. The objectives of this study are to examine if an …
