Episode notes
Muscle Mass Matters
- Muscle mass is more correlated with positive health outcomes than previously thought.
- Directly measuring muscle mass with D3 creatine dilution reveals stronger links to outcomes like blood pressure and cardiovascular health.
Muscle Loss vs. Fat Gain
- Loss of muscle mass is a bigger health detriment than gaining body fat.
- This challenges the common belief that fat is the primary culprit in negative health outcomes.
Frailty and Mortality
- Ben Greenfield notes that age-related mortality often stems from frailty caused by injuries or illnesses leading to bed rest and muscle loss.
- Dr. Lyon agrees, adding that older adults lose muscle mass much faster during bed rest than younger individuals.
