Loss of strength is a common condition that can occur due to various factors. It is characterized by a reduction in one's ability to exert force or power using their muscles. This can significantly impact one's ability to perform daily activities and reduce overall quality of life.
Some key causes of loss of strength include:
- Aging - As we get older, we naturally lose muscle mass and strength in a process called sarcopenia. This typically starts around age 30.
- Injuries - Injuries to muscles, bones, tendons, or nerves can severely impair strength. This is especially true if the injury limits mobility.
- Illnesses - Certain illnesses like cancer, kidney disease, heart disease, and arthritis can result in debilitating fatigue and weakness.
- Inactivity - Use it or lose it! Not exercising and having a sedentary lifestyle leads to loss of muscle mass.
- Hormonal imbalances - Diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary gland, and sex hormones like low testosterone or estrogen deficiency can contribute to loss of strength. This is why getting your hormones checked is so important!
The impacts of loss of strength can be profound, including:
- Difficulty performing daily tasks like climbing stairs, household chores, bathing, cooking
- Increased risk of falls and fractures
- Reduced mobility and independence
- Lower self-confidence and increased depression
