Muscle aging leads to muscle weakness in old age. Scientists have identified the main causes that affect this process.

In old age, most people develop muscle weakness, which indicates muscle aging.. Scientists studied this process and came to the conclusion that it occurs as a result of mutations that occur in stem cells.. Detailed results of this study are available in the specialized journal MedicalXpress.

Scientists are confident that by identifying the causes of human muscle aging, they will be able to find ways to combat this process.. It is already known that by the age of 70, the main number of mutations accumulates in the body.. On average, the number of such mutations is about a thousand, which indicates an imperfect process of cell division..

It is known that in a young organism, biological mechanisms are actively working that contribute to the restoration of such cellular defects, and as the human body ages, the ability of DNA to restore gradually decreases..

In a study in which people of various ages participated, it was found that intense physical activity helps to overcome muscle aging.. At the moment, special methods are being developed that will help improve the quality of human old age..
