Explanation

Research shows that muscle mass loss begins around age 30 at about 3-5% per decade, but this rate ACCELERATES significantly after age 45. Age 45 marks a transition point where sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) becomes more pronounced due to hormonal changes, reduced physical activity, and protein metabolism changes. Age 18, 25, and 35 are too young for accelerated loss.
