Allometric scaling of strength in an independently living population age 55-86 years

Article Abstract:

An investigation conducted into the relationship between strength and body size with allometric scaling revealing that both the amount and quality of muscle are significant determinants of strength in the elderly is discussed. 188 men and 205 women were studied and it was found that age-related reductions in muscle do not account for strength decline with age, but decline, partly, due to lack of physical activity.
