Currently, its prevalence ranges between 10% and 30%, depending on the diagnostic criteria used to identify it, and it is continuing to rise, in step with the increase in average age and sedentary lifestyles. Our loved ones may also be affected, with negative consequences on life expectancy and quality of life. But what is sarcopenia? How can it be fought?
