IS SARCOPENIA LINKED TO THYROID HORMONE LEVEL DECLINE DURING AGING?

Elders can develop sarcopenia, a reduction in muscle: strength, mass, and physical performance due to aging. The thyroid hormone (TH) modulates skeletal regeneration and function. The TH deficiency is called hypothyroidism, this disease is common in the world`s population, and its prevalence is increased in the elderly. We hypothesize that TH signaling reduction in older people can contribute to sarcopenia development.
