Sarcopenia and Locomotive Disorders in Sedentary City Lifestyle: Aging and Sarcopenia

Abstract

Sarcopenia is an aging disorder that can associate many issues with the muscles, bones, and the nervous system of a growing body.  It is more prevalently accelerated in the city life set-up. This study gives an overall idea of how and when this process begins during life.  The article is aimed at giving an insight with scientific evidence, the manifestation and signs to watch in a progressing age. Over the years there are muscle lost and replaced by fats accumulation.  The size of the cross-section of any limbs if compared with an active young and inactive old person, a clear mark can be seen where the muscle bulk has shrunk and there is more fats mass (Fig 1). When the fat mass percentage exceeds at 70% in aging body instability during ambulation gets distorted which needs to fall and subsequent injuries. The progress in Sarcopenia is affected by sluggish ionic exchange at the cellular level of the muscle fiber cells. As sarcopenia progresses due to lack of activities and with non-optimized end range of movement, the muscles fiber does not achieve a complete stretch to trigger an autonomous neurological potency to maintain the tone in the muscle fibers. This multiple end gross phenomenon brings about progress in the aging process of the body. An ionic study of this statement needs further experiments in the human body. My article is aimed to trigger and draw attention to research work to establish a further understanding of Sarcopenia and perhaps retard aging processes in the muscles. Lack of movement and lack of optimum stretch at the end of the muscles which are tendon in origin and the majority of them need attach to the bones will bring about weaknesses to the body structure due to lack of calcium (Ca+ ion) exchange activities. This would lead to osteopenia of the bones. In short, Sarcopenia will progress to osteopenia. Osteopenia will progress to osteoporosis. Though all the processes are inevitable, however, active activities with an equilibrium lifestyle can slow this process that could avoid instability, incoordination, and fall injuries in the older age group.
