The gradual loss of muscle is a normal part of the ageing process, but it can result in muscle weakness, poorer coordination and a loss of balance, increasing the risk of falls, fractures and frailty, leading to a loss of mobility, loss of independence and a poorer quality of life.

It's due to things we can't control like hormonal changes and reduced absorption of dietary protein, but it's also because we tend to eat less and exercise less, and this can put us at greater risk of other age-related health conditions like obesity, osteoporosis and type 2 diabetes.
