Paraspinal muscle aging differs in Bolivian foragers and US adults

In a study of 741 adults, the age-related difference in extensor density was 41% smaller in Tsimane men than in Framingham Heart Study men.In a study of 741 adults, the age-related difference in extensor density was 41% smaller in Tsimane men than in Framingham Heart Study men.

Exercise mitigates disuse atrophy by building muscle reserve

In women undergoing limb immobilization, prehabilitation increased quadriceps area by 6.7% before disuse, preserving more post-immobilization muscle…In women undergoing limb immobilization, prehabilitation increased quadriceps area by 6.7% before disuse, preserving more post-immobilization muscle despite identical 3.2% relative losses.

Loss of myofibril number drives muscle fibre atrophy during aging and disuse

Structural analyses of humans and mice reveal that fibers shrink primarily by shedding myofibrils rather than reducing myofibril size.Structural analyses of humans and mice reveal that fibers shrink primarily by shedding myofibrils rather than reducing myofibril size.
