Future-Proofing Women's Health

Women need to focus on maintaining muscle mass and strength as they navigate the transformative phases of perimenopause and menopause. Research shows that muscle loss can begin in the early 30s and accelerate after age 50, particularly for women who may lose between 3% to 8% of muscle mass per decade. By being proactive in strength training and focusing on adequate protein intake, women can counteract this decline and improve their overall health span. The importance of addressing women's unique physiological needs in clinical research is emphasized, as much of the existing data has historically favored male subjects.
