Study: Sedentary but Healthy Adults Show Early Decline in Muscle Mitochondrial Function
By
David Kelly
Summary
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have found that healthy but sedentary individuals show a significant, coordinated decline in muscle mitochondrial function. This early cellular energy production decline may precede the development of major diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's, highlighting the critical role of mitochondrial function in metabolic health.
