Is it true that adults lose roughly 3 to 8 percent of muscle mass per decade after about age 30, with the rate rising after 60?
Yes. One peer-reviewed review states muscle mass decreases approximately 3-8% per decade after age 30, with a higher rate after 60, matching the claim exactly; a clinic reference also supports loss beginning in the 30s and up to 8% per decade.
