Brief Summary: By 2020, over 20% of the UK population will be over 65 years of age, dramatically increasing pressure on health and social care. Muscle mass is a strong predictor of healthy ageing and longevity. However, ageing is associated with a progressive loss of muscle, so-called sarcopenia, and this begins in mid-life.
