Sarcopenia is progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function with aging. It accelerates after ~30 and accelerates further after 60, leading to frailty, metabolic decline, and increased risk of falls.
Key Drivers
- •Disuse — inactivity accelerates loss
- •Hormonal changes — declining testosterone, growth hormone
- •Inflammation — chronic low-grade inflammation promotes catabolism
- •Nutrition — inadequate protein and resistance stimulus

The Muscle Metabolic Marker article covers protocols for grip calibration, metabolic overclocking, and recovery peptides to counter sarcopenia.
