Causes of Sarcopenia
It is commonly observed in lazy and inactive people, sarcopenia also affects the people who remain physically active throughout life but occurs due to sedentary lifestyle and other reasons such as:-
- Change in hormone levels
- Protein requirements change
- Destruction of motor neurons
1. Change in hormone levels
Hormonal changes with age can also lead to muscle loss. Low levels of certain hormones such as growth hormones, testosterone, and insulin-like growth factors lead to reduced muscle mass.
2. Low protein production
The destruction of motor neurons and nerve cells delays the transfer of signals from the brain to the muscles for movement.
3. Destruction of motor neurons
As a person grows older, his body's ability to produce protein becomes low, this protein is needed to develop muscle. When protein production is reduced, individual muscle cells become smaller.
