Sarcopenia is a condition that occurs in muscle tissue with aging. As a person ages, their muscle tissue
decreases due to osteoclast activity.
decreases due to the muscle's need for greater energy.
increases due to an increased amount of actin in the muscle fiber.
increases due to increased blood flow to the muscles.
