Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, poses a significant challenge in the field of gerontology, impacting the health and independence of older adults. By synthesizing current research findings and theoretical frameworks, this perspective elucidates the multifaceted mechanisms underlying sarcopenia, mainly focusing on energy balance and metabolic processes. Furthermore, the manuscript explores the implications of sarcopenia on overall health outcomes, functional decline, and quality of life in older individuals.
