The Healthcare Costs of Sarcopenia in the United States (2004, background): “8 g of protein kg day), and about 15% eat less than 75% of this amount.(26) One study reported that eating about half of the RDI for protein over a 9-week period led to significant reductions in lean body mass in elderly women, whereas elderly women who consumed the RDI for protein maintained lean b”
Invited review: Aging and sarcopenia. (2003, background): “Estrogen and testosterone may also inhibit the production of IL-1 and IL-6, suggesting that decreased levels of these hormones may have an indirect catabolic effect on muscle (113).”
Obesity in older adults: technical review and position statement of the American Society for Nutrition and NAASO, The Obesity Society. (2005, neutral): “Older persons are particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of excess body weight on physical function because of decreased muscle mass and strength, which occur with aging (98, 99).”
Low vitamin D and high parathyroid hormone levels as determinants of loss of muscle strength and muscle mass (sarcopenia): the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam. (2003, background): “S IS DEFINED as the loss of muscle strength and muscle mass with aging (1).”

Nutritional Recommendations for the Management of Sarcopenia (2010, neutral): “Conventionally, sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass that occurs with aging.(1,2) Lean muscle mass is lost at the rate of approximately 1% per year after 30 years of age.”
Physical activity and older adults: a review of health benefits and the effectiveness of interventions (2004, background): “Although the aetiology of sarcopenia is rather obscure, the fact that it occurs even in master athletes who maintain very high levels of physical activity suggests that ageing per se is the main cause of the loss of muscle mass (Roubenoff and Hughes, 2000) and that disuse contributes by accelerating”
Sarcopenia: Its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future perspectives (2008, background): “There is some evidence that increased fat mass and reduced circulating levels of sex hormones with aging contribute to this agerelated increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines that constituted catabolic stimuli (6).”
Accelerated Loss of Skeletal Muscle Strength in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes (2007, background): “Sarcopenia, a status of decreased skeletal muscle mass, is commonly observed in older adults as a result of age-related loss of muscle mass (17-21).”
