Sarcopenia is observed in :
Answer: D
Sarcopenia is observed in old age.
Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength and function that comes with ageing. It begins gradually from middle age and accelerates after about 65, contributing to weakness, falls and loss of independence. Adequate protein and resistance exercise are the main means of slowing it.
Infancy, childhood and pregnancy are periods of tissue building, when muscle mass is normally increasing, so age-related muscle wasting does not belong to them.
