It is well known that muscle function can be sustained into late life to a greater degree than most people manage. Much of what is presently considered by most people to be normal loss of strength and muscle mass with aging is the result of a combination of a lack of exercise combined with lifestyle choices, such as becoming overweight, that generate chronic inflammation. Researchers here illustrate the point in a study of gene expression changes that take place in muscle tissue with age and other factors. The researchers compared age versus exercise and inflammatory status. At least by looking at the number of changes, chronological age has less of an effect on gene expression in muscle tissue than is the case for exercise and inflammation.
