Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is known as a decline in skeletal muscle quality and function that is associated with age. Sarcopenia is linked to diverse health problems, including endocrine-related diseases. Environmental chemicals (ECs), a broad class of chemicals released from industry, may influence muscle quality decline.
