Abstract
Declines in muscle mass and function are inevitable during the aging process. However, what is the “normal age appropriate” decline of muscle mass and function? Further, is this decline uniform for muscle mass versus functions or between different functional abilities? Using recognized Sarcopenia criteria [i.e. skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) defined as appendicular skeletal muscle mass/height (kg/m2), handgrip strength, gait velocity], the aim...
