Abstract
CHANGES IN body composition are known to occur during aging. In particular, a decrease in lean body mass and an increase in fat are characteristic of the aging process.1 The consequences of these changes in lean body mass may include decreased muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical activity.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
