How can exercise prevent the effects of sarcopenia?

With aging, body composition changes. Even though the body weight may not change, women lose muscle and gain more body fat at midlife. This age-related process, called sarcopenia, begins around age forty when women lose about one-half pound of muscle per year, as well as muscle strength and function.

While these figures may be disturbing, they can also be slowed and even reversed, if there is a focus on a regular, moderate exercise program to keep body fat low and muscle mass high.
