Age related muscle loss – What it is and how to slow it down
Talk by Alister Monteyne – Lecturer in Nutritional Physiology, Nutritional Physiology Research Group, University of Exeter.
The UK population is ageing, both in terms of the absolute number and the proportion of individuals aged 65 years and older. Ageing is associated with a gradual loss of muscle mass, which impairs physical function and metabolic health. Left unaddressed, these changes negatively impact quality of life, overall health, and, ultimately, lifespan. Effectively intervening to slow muscle mass loss is a pressing concern for both society and researchers alike.
