Lean muscle mass accounts for approximately half of body mass and plays an important role in metabolism and control of blood sugar levels. Starting at around age 30 years, lean muscle mass starts to decrease, and this decline may continue at a rate of approximately 3% per decade. The results point to the importance of skeletal muscle mass preservation in relation to CVD risk and the public health actions that need to be taken to improve cardio health in middle aged and older populations.
