Adding years to life and life to years: nutrition supports for age related muscle mass loss
Date
2017
Abstract
In Ireland, only 30% of women and 45% of men over 65 remain disability-free for life1 Dramatic changes in cells start in our 30s, while in our 40s, health and functionality are impacted by increasing weight gain, decreasing bone density and loss or weakening of muscle. People with low lean tissue or muscle mass are classified as sarcopenic. Conservative estimates predict that the incidence of sarcopenia will increase by 50% over the next 30 years, making it a major public health issue among Ireland’s increasing older population.
