but reduced muscle strength. How do people know whether their muscle mass is normal Lin Lifeng said that the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) commonly used in hospitals or health examination centers can measure muscle mass. If you don’t want to go to the hospital, you can use a common instrument that uses bioimpedance analysis (BIA) to analyze body composition. To measure muscle mass, it is calculated by dividing the weight of skeletal muscles of the limbs by the
square of height (meters). If it is greater than 7 for men and 5.7 for women, it means that the muscle mass is normal, otherwise it means that the muscle mass is too low. People over 55 are at risk of becoming weak Lin Lifeng said Nepal Phone Number List that adults over 55 years old are a high-risk group for ataxia. Even if they have exercise habits, there is no guarantee that they will not develop ataxia. He participated in a community health promotion research project targeting sub-healthy middle-aged and elderly people. In the early stage of the project, people with mountaineering habits were randomly
tested and found that 6 out of 10 people were at risk of weakness. One of the subjects of the case is Ms. Li, a 64-year-old experienced mountaineer. She used to have no problem climbing suburban mountains. However, as she gets older, she needs to take a break every 10 minutes on the hiking trails. Ms. Li thinks it is because of her age and her increased physical strength. Not as good as before, I didn't expect it to be caused by amnesia. In addition, he said that compared with patients with sarcopenia who are thin and thin, patients with asthenia have a higher body fat percentage and thicker waist circumference. However, studies have pointed out that patients with sarcopenia who have abdominal obesity are heavier but have a thicker waist circumference. Deterioration of muscle strength and function leads to faster deterioration in daily
