In 1999 the CDC recognised Sarcopenia as one of the top 5 major health risks, facing the US population. Sarcopenia (pronounced Sarko-Peen-Ya) is the process by which the body's lean muscle mass disintegrates over time.
It’s impact, which will be felt by every man and women, and will result in a condition as accepted as frailty, is a leading bio-marker to a whole host of problems, most notably, heart disease and obesity.

Sarcopenia.com is being established to assist people with their understanding of Sarcopenia, with particular focus on the role it plays with the accumulation of surplus body fat and the global pandemic of obesity.
