Human aging is a complex biological process that causes extensive changes throughout the body. Muscle loss is only a consequence of this natural aging process and is due, among other things, to a disturbed innervation, ie stimulation or irritation of tissue and organs.

With increasing age, cellular defects arise which cause a decoupling between the muscle stimulation and the actual skeletal muscle movement. Depending on the degree of manifestation, this can lead to considerable impairments of the previously regularly performed muscle activities. This process can not be stopped, but slowed down considerably. In the following, the exact causes and symptoms of muscle wasting in old age, resulting dangers and promising therapeutic approaches are highlighted.
