Do you struggle more than before with stairs, carrying groceries, or gardening? It might not simply be “just age.” These changes could signal a condition called sarcopenia—a subtle but serious loss of muscle mass and strength that affects many adults over 50, often without obvious warning signs. The good news? It’s preventable and manageable with the right habits.Sarcopenia refers to the gradual decline in muscle mass and function, beginning as early as age 30 and accelerating around 60. While aging plays a role, sarcopenia is now considered a distinct medical condition—not an inevitable outcome. The culprits include hormonal decline, slower muscle recovery, and reduced nutrient absorption. But lifestyle habits, like inactivity, poor diet, and vitamin deficiencies, also play a major role.
