Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page report
discusses changes in body composition are known to occur during
aging. In particular, a decrease in lean body mass (LBM) and an
increase in fat are characteristic of the aging process.
Decreased lean body mass occurs primarily as a result of losses
in skeletal muscle mass. Age-related loss in muscle mass is also
known as “sarcopenia.” This report also presents the ways in
which healthy LBM can be maintained and what that means for the
aging human body. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

maintaining a high degree of physical fitness. Health care professionals of all disciplines, social scientists, policy makers, and government leaders around the world are not often in accord on issues,
but they do agree that one of the best ways to improve the well-being of any society is to improve the health of its people. Considering the enormous number of
Americans who are moving into retirement years, those ubiquitous baby boomers, there has been a greater emphasis and awareness on the importance of remaining as fit as possible. OBrien (1996)
notes: "But unfortunately, 54 percent of Americans are sedentary and only 24 percent exercise regularly, according to the U.S. Public Health Service. This inactivity is a major contributor to
an increasing incidence of obesity, heart disease, hypertension and a host of other ailments that reduce the quality and quantity of life" (pp. 3). Lean Body Mass Changes in body
composition are known to occur during aging. In particular, a decrease in lean body mass (LBM) and an increase in fat are characteristic of the aging process. Lean body mass
includes everything in the human body except fat such as muscle, bones, organs, and fluids. Decreased lean body mass occurs primarily as a result of losses in skeletal muscle mass.
