Muscle wasting is related to poor quality of life and increased morbidity/mortality. Two common but distinct conditions characterized by a loss of skeletal muscle mass are sarcopenia and cachexia. [52] Sarcopenia and cachexia represent the major causes of muscle-wasting disorders.
Sarcopenia is linked to an increased risk of dementia, a new study finds, but suggests that older adults may reduce this risk by exercising and consuming adequate protein. Losing muscle may ...

Sarcopenic obesity is a combination of two disease states, sarcopenia and obesity.
