Sarcopenia: Causes of muscle loss and solutions

With age, some hormones that help muscles (such as IGF-1 or growth hormone) decrease. Muscle recovery is slower, nutrient absorption becomes less efficient… in short, the body weakens.

Habits that are detrimental to muscles

Small habits that weaken muscles include skipping meals, avoiding protein, not getting enough exercise, and spending too much time sitting or being inactive. Inactivity is even the main risk factor. And let's not forget vitamin D deficiency, very common in France, which affects muscle tone.

Some silent diseases

Diabetes, thyroid disorders, chronic inflammation, and even neurological diseases can aggravate muscle loss, sometimes without obvious symptoms.
