Background. The loss of muscle mass is considered to be a major determinant of strength
loss in aging. However, large-scale longitudinal studies examining the association between …

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether lower lean mass and higher fat mass have
independent effects on the loss of strength and muscle quality in older adults and might …

The longitudinal changes in isokinetic strength of knee and elbow extensors and flexors,
muscle mass, physical activity, and health were examined in 120 subjects initially 46 to 78 …

This brief review examines the influence of aging on skeletal muscle mass and strength and
specifically highlights sex-related differences. It is well established that aging is associated …

Background. An excessive amount of adipose tissue may contribute to sarcopenia and may
be one mechanism underlying accelerated loss of muscle mass and strength with aging. We …

Background The aims of this study were to investigate the longitudinal changes in muscle
and bone with aging, and to clarify the muscle–bone relationships. Methods In a community …

Background: The aging process is associated with progressive declines in muscle strength,
resulting in functional disability and reduced quality of life. Objective: The purpose of this …

Objective: The purposes of this study were to determine the relationship between muscle
mass, muscle strength, muscle quality, and fat mass with a composite measure of physical …

Background: Elderly men and women lose muscle mass and strength with increasing age.
Decreased physical activity, hormones, malnutrition and chronic disease have been …

Background Our main goal was to evaluate the pattern and time course of changes in
relative muscle power and its constituting components throughout the life span. Methods A …
