Our muscles are essential for life. Because only through our muscles can we move. Muscles are also involved in many important processes such as swallowing and breathing. When muscle mass decreases significantly with age, it is referred to as age-related muscle loss (also known as sarcopenia).
Learn more here about the symptoms of muscle wasting in old age and what you can do about it. It is scientifically proven that between the ages of 20 and 30, the body reaches its maximum muscle mass. After that, the human body loses up to one percent of muscle mass per year on average.
People over 70 years old lose about three percent of muscle mass per year.
These muscles are gradually converted into fat. This age-related muscle loss is a completely natural process and not a cause for concern at first.
A healthy diet and targeted strength and endurance training can counteract muscle loss in old age, ensuring that both muscle mass and muscle function are adequately maintained.
If you suspect that you are suffering from muscle wasting, it is advisable to make an appointment with your family doctor and discuss the matter.
The most important thing is to always keep moving so that the muscles continue to be used.
To escape the vicious cycle of inactivity and maintain and build mobility through everyday movements, there is, for example, senior gymnastics.
More tips for more activity in old age can be found here.
Movement can counteract health risk factors – lack of movement, on the other hand, promotes them. Especially in old age or with physical limitations, it is important to stay active and maintain existing mobility, because “Who rests, rusts!”
Being mobile not only means more independence and self-determination but also a higher quality of life, better well-being, social participation, disease prevention, health promotion, and a better opportunity for self-care.
With increasing age, the risk of health impairments increases.
Sufficient exercise and regular, targeted training help you reduce this risk and thus age healthily without compromising quality of life.
However, in addition to exercise, nutrition also plays an important role in preventing muscle loss in old age. Hunger and thirst often decrease with age, which can potentially lead to malnutrition.
Since the need for proteins is higher in old age than in young people, it is important to ensure an adequate intake of fish, legumes, nuts, eggs, and meat.
Climbing stairs at home is a valuable exercise to stay active and maintain and strengthen muscles. Stair climbing offers clear benefits, as the slow movements are gentle on the joints and lead to an intense workout.
Stair climbing strengthens muscles, endurance, and helps improve respiratory function.
For many, climbing stairs can be a big challenge.
Seniors and people with limited mobility need more support during stair training than a regular handrail. The innovative stair walking aid TOPRO Step, developed in Norway, provides the necessary support and safety.

Jakob Rønningen had no objections when the stair climber was ready for use in the care home. “The device looks good and is robust. I felt safe,” he said after walking up and down the stairs once.
When parents grow old, adult children often find themselves in a situation in which they have to deal with many difficult decisions and questions. Many people shy away from discussing these issues with their parents and ultimately making the right decisions. Children are often afraid that their parents will not want to acknowledge their own ageing.
The TOPRO Step stair climber – Fredrik and the stairs. The occupational therapists at Levanger Municipality believe that the new stair climber can help older people to continue living at home. (This is a translation based on an article by Kristian Stokdahl, originally published in Innherred on October 13, 2016).
If sitting down and standing up is made more difficult due to restricted movement caused by joint stiffness, for example, the classic stairlift is not necessarily the best solution for climbing the stairs in your own home.
