  • As we age, we lose muscle mass; this is called sarcopenia. The consequences of sarcopenia can be devastating, like increased risks of falls, reduced physical capacity, disability, depression, less participation in societal activities, and less enjoyment of life.
    In 2016, the International Classification of Diseases, or ICD version 10, officially recognized sarcopenia as a disease. It is a condition characterized by loss of muscle mass and function with age. The world population is getting older and older, which is a fabulous thing, but then more people are seeking medical care because of the consequences of sarcopenia.

    I am very active all my life since a young kid I started swimming daily and practiced tennis 3 days a week. Now at 71 still swimming but 4/7 and lap swim 40 minutes each time, and brisk walk 2 hours daily for decades. Eat a lot of lean protein and 16 hours fasting daily. Last year during my walk at night i felt a couple times really badly, bled and hurt my knees and arms for several weeks but nothing broken. My doctor told me my muscles saved me from broken bones falling. I still have scars visible and bruises but that did not stop me from walking and swimming like nothing happened. I also tale collagen peptides and make my own bone broth from grassfed shanks. People think i am wearing a wig, and I drive daytime without wearing glasses. There are the day up and down but overall i feel good most of the days and lot energy hiking all day in the mountains and enjoying so much of it
    Exercise, being active, keep the day busy, have good nutritious diets and you should be happy and sleep well at night like a toddler.

    Chronic pain, poorly understood and poorly treated took a real toll in my 50’s.
    In my 60’s and for 6 years now I am fighting back, now that I understand this pain affliction better. Walking, lose weight over time (slow and steady), to your ideal weight, dumbbells and body weight movement exercises, healthy food, drink water, and get good sleep.
    Get down to the floor and back up with no aids, often.
    It’s 10 X harder to do this with chronic pain but it is absolutely necessary.

    I'm a 60 y/o femaile cyclist but was concerned about my muscles in my upper body so for the last 6 months I have been training with dumbbells in my own home 3x a week for sessions of 30 to 40 minutes. I work the whole body using supersets to save time and use progressive overload principles. I recently got an InBody scan and since I have had these in the past i was able to do some comparisons. I have gained 5 lbs of muscle in these last 6 months. I eat a mostly whole food plant based diet and did not change anything with that. I'm 5'9 and weight 150 lbs. I ate about 60 to 80 grams of protein per day. It can be done folks!! I'm well pleased with this result and although I realize that muscle gain rate will taper off now, I can still work to gain more and keep what I have by continuing with the weight training.

      FYI -- I've done strenous uphill cycling for the decades to keep my legs strong. But at around 65, I noticed a slight decrease in my leg strength when rising up out of a low seat, couch, car, etc. I was surprised and then realized that cycling isn't really a that good of an exercise for your quad muscles. So I started doing squats and that fixed it. Now I have way more spring in my legs than ever before.

    Thank you DrAndreaFurlanMadam., I have been wasting money and also my health by eating lot of rice since I hail from India. Indian dr. just giving multivitamin and other cholesterol tablet which is mere waste , nothing to do with high triglyceride levels. Even though I pay regular fees , they didn’t have sympathy / curtesy to advise me to take egg to overcome my osteoarthritis issue. Only you DrAndreaFurlan madam , really saved my life by making me to catch trains by sprinting nowadays. I am taking 4to 5 eggs per day by completely avoiding carbs and also taking some vegetables & fruit for fibre . Unlike all Europeans who speak English with different style , this make me to understand bit difficult. But Madam, your English is very beautiful like you.

    A very useful video. Thank you. I'm in my mid 70s and realised that I was spending too much time being inactive in the winter months. The result was a gradual weight gain. I bought myself a cheap treadmill (£200.00 here in the UK) and combined it with a smart watch to track activity. My watch beeps at me when I've been inactive for half an hour and I get up and do a ten minute brisk walk on my treadmill. Spread over the day, it's easy to clock up your 10,000 steps. I've now started to combine a bit of resistance training as part of my 'exercise snacks'
    As you can guess I'm losing fat and gaining muscle and feeling an all round improvement in my fitness. In the light of experience, I'd probably spend a bit more on the treadmill and get one with an incline function so that as I got fitter, I could increase the challenge,
    Avoid the very cheap under the desk treadmills that don't have handles because in the first week or so of using it, you need the handles to get used to it.
    Hope this helps!

    your advice is excellent It should be followed and the earlier the better. Never heard of sarcopenia but common knowledge we get weaker as we age. It is also common sense that regular exercise is the only true way to slow the decline. I only started regular exercise when I was 59 and it kept me healthy and strong, never broke a bone or spent a night in a hospital. Now am 80 and decided to double down and do strength training/rowing 1 hour every day. I am too old to stop although can only pull myself up from hanging overhead bar 4 time whereas I could do that 12 time when I was 70.

    I used to excercise daily, walking, resistance, aerobic. In my mid 50s my osteoarthritis started to make excercise painful and also, drain my energy. Menopause affected my sleep leading to 1 to 3 nights of insomnia a week. My muscle tone was amazing ten years ago. Now it's like a deflated balloon.
    My gait is off and it's painful going up and down stairs. I have been searching for an excercise program that I can do regularly that does not hurt. Even swimming and water aerobics are painful.

    Dr. Furlan, thank you for this information. A couple of years ago, I read over my primary care physician’s summary of our annual visit and for the first time noticed a diagnosis of sarcopenia. There was no discussion. I am a 69 year old female and have noticed a concerning loss of strength. My husband has numerous chronic conditions and at times, I need to take on more responsibilities. This has been difficult for me. While I do eat plenty of protein in a very nutritious diet, I fall short on the other recommendations. Your informational steps give me a pathway to improve my muscle strength and I plan to share this entire video with my three daughters. Thanks again.

      I'm 62 and started working out 9 months ago.
      I couldn't walk a block without getting winded.
      I joined an inexpensive gym, 10 dollars a month and I bought some exercise bands of various strengths. I used the bands while watching RUclips or tie them to something stationary like a door knob.
      Don't use weights for the first week then add some weight like 5lbs. Eat a gram of protein for each lb of body weight.
      Long story short. I can now squat and lift over 400lbs.
      Just take your time. You will find lots of other seniors in the gym. Normally in the morning or afternoon , when it's not so busy.
      Be blessed and have fun. The first two weeks will be the hardest, because you have to find your system. It's different for everyone.
      Be blessed, and take your time.
      Oh and leg work outs, like squats help your whole body. Use youtube to find the correct way to do exercise. You will look good and feel strong soon. 😊

    Thanks for this. Older people need to still maintain muscle mass.
    Being thin and being fit is not necessary mean you don't need to continue growth in muscles. Imagine falling over when you are 70++ and now getting up is almost impossible without help? Why? Just because you can do a marathon doesn't mean your legs will still be strong enough to getting up after a fall. Try this, when your naked in the bathroom, do a 'full squat' all the way down. Next try getting up without holding anything, how did you do? If you have difficulties than your muscles have diminish and need resistance training.

    The described symptoms can be very much a result of low thyroid issue or also hyperthyroidism as well. In this state it's very hard to start training or even just get oneself to walk a few hundred meters. It's essential to check ones thyroid function before doing anything else or taking drugs. The next step would be going on ketovore or carnivore lifestyle - no sugar to feed cancer cells and it'll help to prevent muscle loss and will help to reduce weight, and when one feels light, one can do resistance training and go for a walk or even start to swim or lift weights.
    A good general carnivore advice is about 100g of protein a day, which is about 500g of meat or fish. But it won't work if you don't eat the same amount or slightly more of fat with it! We need fat to digest that protein and for our hormones to be productive. That fat contains in fatty meat and fish, in eggs, and one can add good butter and coconut fat or oil, or/and olive oil of excellent quality.
    It's very advisable to start slowly increasing ones protein and fat intake, like some 10g a week, or you will just feel that was too much. Apple cider in a glas of water and enzymes can help digesting. Don't push yourself to reach that 100g protein/fat goal if your gut isn't ready. One could try eating more grilled fish, egg-salmon-avocado creme or chicken breast soufflé, which can be digested easier.
    One can use a macro calculator which helps to find own protein/fat ratio.

    Very instructive and useful video. Thank you. I would like to add a quick comment on sarcopenia: I read that the condition mostly "targets" the fast twitch muscle fibers, those that allow to muster some power, i.e. generate muscular force quickly. Elderly people loose a lot of these fast twitch muscle mass, which as a consequence does not allow them to manage the production of enough muscle power when they need power. An example is when an elderly stumbles and looses balance while walking, their legs will not generate sufficient power to recover balance during the next step or two; this usually leads to a fall. It is then important to incorporate in an appropriate training program exercises that help retain the fast twitch muscle fiber mass.

    My wife and I were very unfit when I was fifty, the typical sarcopenia trajectory, but we bought a couple of cheap bikes and have been keen cyclists every since, every holiday is skiing or cycling.
    I’m 79 this month and yesterday we cycled 33km with 800 metres vertical climb (20 miles and 2,500 feet). I haven’t noticed any age related drop in performance so far. I was no more tired at the end or today than I would have been ten years ago, maybe twenty.
    Most people lose muscle mass as they age more because they do less exercise as their lifestyle changes and because of peer pressure, but it is largely reversible. For elite athletes sarcopenia is undoubtedly age related but for most of us who are nowhere near our potential fitness it is mainly lack of exercise and our diet.

I am 52 years old woman and have tried everything including natural remedies. Many woman in menopause. have sleep issue and for me only benzodiazepines gives me eight hour of sleep which I don’t like to take on regular basis .. only sometimes when I travel which happens rarely

      You might want to consider having a sleep study done. You would have to ask your doctor to order one for you. I was having poor quality of sleep and I did not realize that I actually had sleep apnea. Now that I have my CPAP machine, my sleep is much more restful.

      Maybe ask Dr Furlan if isometric body muscle contractions you can do with out weights or gym machines with help. Also have you tried elastic therabands that come in different tensions strengths. However they do eventually snap and break with regular use or left in hot garages etc. I cannot image your challenge, but I will pray for you too. For physical exercise is of little exercise in this life only, but godly exercise by believing in Jesus Christ will strengthen your soul with the power of the Holy Spirit to do the good works he has chosen you to do as you will inherit eternal life and a perfect glorified body in Christ Jesus.

    I would add not eating enough. My mum in particular thinks that to live long you need to eat only a little (calorie restriction) - but in reality weight loss usually involves also muscle mass loss. Am I wrong? In her case. eating little, she has even less energy and struggles to cook - it is a spiral. I live far away, I do try to spend 3 months a year with her, and I notice how much better she gets when I am there and she is eating more. I would say she has sarcopenia, as she cannot even open a water bottle on her own.

But in August 2022 my neck and back started to hurt badly mainly due to traumas caused by negligent drivers runing into me while riding my push bike. Currently I have multiple neck discs' thinning, bulges, facet joint issues which cause extreme pain and prevent me from exercising properly. I would love to do my gym and bicycle like before but I can't due to the chronic intense pain. I read your book on pain and its management but the pain I have is quite severe. How can I get back in to exercise without causing flareups? Thanks.

      I did really think that for 8 months on keto diet, until I lost 11 kg and weighed 59 kg and was to eat less than 60g protein to lose more weight which is less than 100g meat and only 800-900 calories a day! (I am a small middle-aged woman, 159cm tall, so my goal was 55-56kg) And then I started to have unbearable cravings and hunger. I started to research for weeks and I came to carnivore calculations and through them to Dr. Donald Layman studies on protein. I had to be proved wrong by those! He says one needs roughly 100g of protein and about same amount of fat daily, carnivore correction - even more fat, in macros their ratio is from 66/33 to 80/20, one has to find which fits one best.
      I used Dr. Layman's macro calculator, but recently I am using Maria Emmerich's, it's more precise.
      So to say, it's 0.8-1g per pound/lbs of ideal weight (ideal for your age, gender, activity level) = 1.8 per kg, like this video says.
      With enough fat, we eat more calories and get lots of energy but still stay lean.
      As I started ketovore, it was first gaining weight of course, because my body needed it, but now I am losing it constantly eating 1200 to 2000 calories daily, 80-120g of protein (ca. 500g of meat or fish) and the same amount of fat. I call it a small wonder, but doctors know of course how it works.
