Cachexia — significant loss of weight and muscle mass — has a massive impact on cancer outcomes and patient quality of life. The sooner it is detected, the better chance there is to manage it.

The heaviest drinkers had around 5% less muscle than those who didn’t drink at all.
Lifestyle factors like physical activity, diet and sleep can lower the ‘biological age’ of your cells and tissues and reduce age-related physical decline.
It’s never too late to start.
Dr Joe Dituri is hoping to set a world record during his experiment.
Every year after age 30 we progressively lose muscle mass. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do about it.
Months not eating or moving don’t result in muscle wasting and loss of function for animals that hibernate. New research found gut microbes help their hosts hold onto and use nitrogen to build proteins.
Many think of muscle mass loss as a problem that mostly affects older people, but even people in their early 20s can experience rapid muscle loss under certain conditions.
There are some factors you can’t change about your metabolism. But there are things you can do to influence how much energy your body uses over the course of the day.
Most people know the benefits of physical activity. However, we tend to be less aware of how damaging inactivity can be, even for short periods — especially for older adults.
Without proper care, lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic could worsen muscle loss and long-term health in ageing populations.
The vitamin could also protect against sarcopenia, which affects more than 50 million people globally.
Delivering the extra protein older people need via biscuits could be a simple and effective way to help guard against muscle loss in ageing.
New experiment on the International Space Station could help us tackle muscle loss in astronauts.
