Resumo: Sarcopenia, an age-related condition characterized by low levels of muscle mass, carries personal and financial costs. Understanding the condition and its consequences is essential to implement successful interventions for people with and people at risk of developing sarcopenia. Using data from SHARE of people aged 50 and older, the effect of sarcopenia on ageing is estimated. Results suggest that sarcopenia has a significant negative impact on ageing. Quantitatively, the effect of sarcopenia on the healthy ageing indices is equivalent to having aged approximately one decade. Through the estimation of a production function of sarcopenia, the importance of physical activity as prevention is confirmed.
