Your muscle condition isn’t just about how much muscle you have—it’s also about its quality. Both muscle mass (quantity) and muscle strength (quality) play a crucial role in overall health, and they change over time based on age, activity levels, and lifestyle choices.
Who Has Good Muscle Quality?
Younger individuals and those who exercise regularly tend to have stronger, more resilient muscles. As we age, or if we don’t stay active, muscle quality naturally declines, affecting strength, mobility, and overall health.
Factors That Can Affect Muscle Quality Score
Muscle quality readings may not be accurate if:
You are experiencing fatigue or swelling
You are dehydrated or have poor blood circulation
Maintaining a good balance between muscle mass and muscle quality is key to strong, healthy muscles. Stay active, hydrated, and consistent with strength training to support better mobility, strength, and long-term health!
