abstract：:Some of the most serious consequences of ageing are its effects on skeletal muscle. The term 'sarcopenia' describes the slow but progressive loss of muscle mass with advancing age and is characterised by a deterioration of muscle quantity and quality leading to a gradual slowing of movement and a decline in strength. ...

abstract：:When mortality (μ), aging rate (γ) and age (t) are treated according to the Gompertz model μ(t) = μ0eγt (GM), any mean age corresponds to a manifold of paired reciprocally changing μ0 and γ. Therefore, any noisiness of data used to derive GM parameters makes them negatively correlated. Besides this artifactual factor ...
