Sarcopenia is the generalized and progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass with age accompanied by either reduced muscle strength or physical performance. Importantly, loss of skeletal muscle mass and function increases the risk for impaired mobility, falls, fractures and mortality and is a major factor in compromised quality of life and loss of independence. Our studies in nonhuman primates ha... |
