“…Sarcopenia is also associated with decreased muscle regenerative capacity that can further exacerbate loss of function. Together, these changes lead to increased risk of falling, loss of physical independence, and increased morbidity and mortality (Landi et al, 2012; Patel et al, 2014; Xue, Walston, Fried, & Beamer, 2011). Although sarcopenia is influenced by intrinsic changes in muscle (Sousa‐Victor et al, 2014) and by extrinsic factors from other systems (Carlson & Faulkner, 1989; Fry et al, 2015), the specific mechanisms that drive sarcopenia are largely unknown.…”
