There’s a new biomarker for healthy aging! 👀⬇️

Health, fitness, and longevity experts like peterattiamd and drandygalpin have been posting about the loss of power as we age 💪

This new term is called Powerpenia and watermania23 is here to walk you through everything you need to know!

Powerpenia ➡️ specifically relates to the loss of power as we age, which we lose at a much greater rate than muscle size or strength.

Even though this is well known, only 2 out of 220 studies published between 2008 and 2023 have actually studied this specific trait! Well at Proteus, we’ve got you covered! We have one of the largest data bases of power across all ages and movements in the world.

Our data shows that power is lost at about 10.2% per decade, and it goes even faster for rational and tri planar movements 🏋️

So what should you do? The great news is training strength and power can diminish the effects of powerpenia. Let’s check in with Will to see what he recommends for staying on top of this new biomarker ⬇️

“A recent study highlighted by peterattiamd shows that muscle loss and strength loss with aging has more to do with disuse rather than aging alone. They also showed that there were similar results with training with both young and old alike, meaning it’s never too late to start resistance training.”

Powerpenia is something we all need to keep in mind as we age and strive for a healthy lifestyle📈 Check out our 🔗 in bio if you’d like to learn more about Powerpenia and healthy aging!
