Loss of muscle

What is loss of muscle?

Loss of muscle, known medically as muscle atrophy, occurs when muscle cells shrink or degrade. This leads to weakness, fatigue, and reduced function.

There are two main causes of muscle loss:

1. Disuse atrophy - Lack of physical activity causes muscles to waste away. This commonly happens after injury or illness that restricts movement.


2. Age-related loss - As we get older, muscles naturally weaken and shrink due to hormonal changes and decreased activity. This condition is called sarcopenia.

Some key signs of muscle loss include:

• Decreased muscle strength


• Physical fatigue and exhaustion


• Reduced mobility and range of motion


• More difficulty with daily tasks

How can you prevent or treat loss of muscle? Getting adequate nutrition and exercising regularly can help minimize muscle loss. But as we age, it becomes harder to rebuild atrophied muscles.
