The underappreciated role of muscle in health and disease. (2006, background): “Sarcopenia is estimated to occur in 30% of individuals over the age of 60 y (72).”
An overview of sarcopenia: facts and numbers on prevalence and clinical impact (2010, background): “After about age 50, muscle mass decreases at an annual rate of 1–2% [1, 2].”
Sarcopenia, Dynapenia, and the Impact of Advancing Age on Human Skeletal Muscle Size and Strength; a Quantitative Review (2012, background): “It is widely acknowledged that changes in the endocrine milieu, especially decreased androgens and GH/IGF-1 are contributing factor to sarcopenia (Doherty, 2003; Volpi et al., 2004; Narici and Maffulli, 2010).”
Cell and Molecular Biology (2009, background): “Sarcopenia is generally used to describe age-related changes that occur within skeletal muscle and thus encompasses the effects of altered central and peripheral nervous system innervation, altered hormonal status, inflammatory effects, and altered caloric and protein intake (Doherty, 2003).”
The decline in skeletal muscle mass with aging is mainly attributed to a reduction in type II muscle fiber size. (2013, background): “On a muscle tissue level, senescent muscle has been characterized by muscle fiber loss, muscle fiber atrophy, and fiber type grouping (Doherty, 2003; Koopman, 2011; Lexell et al., 1988).”
Title: Does the difference between physically active and couch potato lie in the dopamine system? (2010, positive): “Research has shown the benefits of physical activity to human health and its importance in increasing resting metabolic rate [154], prevention of certain types of cancer [9], prevention of age related muscle loss, or sarcopenia [33], and treatment of depression and anxiety [30].”
Sarcopenia: Its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future perspectives (2008, background): “From cross-sectional findings, the decline in motor neurons starts after the seventh decade (90) with a loss of alpha motor-neurons in the order of 50% (91), and this affects the lower extremities with their longer axons more than the upper limbs (5).”
Development and validation of criterion-referenced clinically relevant fitness standards for maintaining physical independence in later years. (2013, background): “Once fi tness standards were established for the oldest age group (90 – 94 years ) and were proposed for the youngest group (60 – 64 years ) based on the rate of projected rate of decline that needed to be considered over the 30-year age span from 60 – 64 to 90 – 94, standards were then proposed for”
Resistance Exercise for Muscular Strength in Older Adults: A Meta-Analysis (2010, neutral): “However, since strength and muscle mass do not decrease concurrently, strength may be a superior indicator of muscular dysfunction (Doherty, 2003, Klein, et al., 2001).”
Sarcopenia: etiology, clinical consequences, intervention, and assessment (2009, background): “There are two primary sources of IGF-1.”
Sarcopenia: an undiagnosed condition in older adults. Current consensus definition: prevalence, etiology, and consequences. International working group on sarcopenia. (2011, background): “Overall, there is a much greater decline in strength than muscle mass with the decline in isometric knee extensor strength being between 55 to 76% (22, 29).”
The loss of skeletal muscle strength, mass, and quality in older adults: the health, aging and body composition study. (2006, background): “Although it has been postulated that reduced muscle mass plays a major role in the age-related decline of strength (9,32,33), in this large cohort of older adults, initial lean mass and changes of lean mass could explain only a small portion (;5%) of variability of strength decline.”
