Popis:	Aging is associated with a loss of muscle function (i.e., muscle strength and quality) which leads to loss of physical performance and to dependence for activities of daily living. Since muscle strength is the main predictor of physical limitation or adverse outcomes (i.e., frailty, sarcopenia, dementia, mortality), assessing muscle function is useful to prevent these consequences or to rehabilitate it.
