[Meta] proposal — a flair for lean mass posts

Question

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/progresspics repeats that sarcopenia is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 23 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Crossposting this to c/cryptopay because the people who need it are not reading this community.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

sarcopenia is the unsolved question

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.

FFMI tracking requires body composition

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Disagree on that part. 96.8% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
