It can lead to reduced mobility, increased risk of falling, injury, and even death. But “you’re just getting old” is not a sufficient diagnosis. Specific causes of neuromuscular symptoms may explain progressive muscle weakness, and should be investigated for potential treatment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMuscle Ageing, Inclusion-Body Myositis and Myopathies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e explores the clinical and pathological expression of muscle weakness in aging persons.

The former, the most common progressive muscle disease in the over 50s, is frequently under-diagnosed and, with the increasing population of aged individuals, is presenting a greater challenge. This disease of muscle has pathological similarities with the well-known Alzheimer and Parkinson brain diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEdited and written by a leading international cast of authors, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMuscle Ageing, Inclusion-Body Myositis and Myopathies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e provides a state-of-the-art guide to ageing-associated neuromuscular disorders.
