What Is Sarcopenia?
7. General Weakness
In addition to a weakened grip, sarcopenia can also cause the patient to feel weaker overall. It can become harder for them to lift heavy objects, and some people might begin to struggle with work and perform other chores. Again, this will develop gradually, being barely noticeable to begin with.
Weakness will make the patient tire faster than usual, and they are likely to become less inclined to take part in physical activities. This can lead them to become less active than usual, and a lack of activity can make the condition worse. It is advisable that everybody gets at least a moderate amount of exercise where possible.
