Key result
Sarcopenia is a major health problem in older people characterized by reduced muscle area, fiber loss, and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to reduced physical function and increased fatigability.

Witham et al. (2008) conducted an editorial in Sarcopenia. ACE inhibitors vs. Exercise training was evaluated. Sarcopenia is a major health problem in older people characterized by reduced muscle area, fiber loss, and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to reduced physical function and increased fatigability.
