Many elderly people lose weight not because of fat loss, but because of the decline of muscle quality and function. This symptom of muscle degeneration is called sarcopenia. When people enter old age, with the increase of age, the secretion of sex hormones decreases, which makes the ability of muscle synthesis insufficient and the incidence of sarcopenia increases. It is reported that the incidence of sarcopenia is 5%~ 13% among people aged 60~70, and 1 1%~50% among people over 80. Excessive emaciation of the elderly may also be caused by disease. Nervous system diseases can lead to wasting diseases such as malnutrition, inflammation, infection and malignant tumor, which greatly increases the energy consumption of human body and causes emaciation.
