Sarcopenia Risk Assessment

You can’t stop ageing, but you can choose to stay strong.

What is Sarcopenia?

Sarcopenia is the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength, and function as we age. It typically starts between ages 30 and 40, and accelerates after 60, making everyday tasks harder and increasing the risk of falls and frailty. The main causes include aging, inactivity, poor nutrition (especially low protein), and hormonal changes. Regular exercise—particularly strength training—and adequate protein intake are key to slowing or preventing it.
