Strength and muscle mass loss with aging process. Age and strength loss
Abstract
Background: aging process is associated with changes in muscle mass and strength with decline of muscle strength after the 30 th life year.The aim of this study was to investigate these changes in muscle mass and strength.Patients & Methods: for this analysis 26 participants were subdivided in two groups.Group 1 comprises participants aged <40 years (n=14), group 2 those >40 years (n=12).We assessed anthropometrics, range of motions, leg circumferences and isometric strength values of the knee joints.Results: besides comparable anthropometrics, circumferences and strength were higher in group 1 than in group 2. Circumference of upper leg (20 cm above knee articular space) showed for right leg a trend to a significant (median: 54.45 cm (1 st quartile: 49.35/ 3 rd quartile: 57.78) vs 49.80 cm (49.50/50.75),p=0.0526) and for left leg a significant 54.30 cm (49.28/58.13)vs 49.50 cm (48.00/52.53),p=0.0356) larger circumference in group 1. Isometric strength was in 60° knee flexion significantly higher in group 1 than in group 2 for right (729.88N (561.47/862.13)vs 456.92N (304.67/560.12),p=0.00448) and left leg (702.49N(581.36/983.87)vs 528.49N (332.95/648.58),p=0.0234).Conclusions: aging process leads to distinct muscle mass and strength loss.Muscle strength declines from people aged <40 years to those >40 years between 16.6% and 40.9%.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
