Abstract
These longitudinal analyses of six muscle groups in septuagenarians provide novel information on the muscle group-specific aging process. Although the quadriceps, hamstrings, psoas, and rectus abdominis atrophied with different magnitudes, the lateral abdominals and paraspinals hypertrophied over the 5 years. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the skeletal muscle aging process and highlight the need to complete studies in this area with a muscle-specific focus.
