Over the years, scholars from various countries have made unremitting of Sarcopenia research in China Scholars have named it different, and some called “skeletal age” (two), some called “skeletal muscle to reduce age-related disease” (3,), some scholars call it “less muscle disease “(4) and so on. 1 Sarcopenia the epidemiological characteristics of The results show that after 30 years of age, human skeletal muscle volume decreased an average of 10 years is 6% (3), Baumgartner et al (6) with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry test the 883 meter the amount found in skeletal muscle of older persons in the 70 older age group, 13% to 24% with Sarcopenia, and in people over the age of 80, suffering from muscular disease who are less than 50%. gender comparison, 883 elderly subjects in New Mexico, 75 men over the age of 58% prevalence rate for women was 45%. China’s urban elderly men after the age of 80 there will be a process of muscle strength decreased significantly, while the old woman appeared in the 75-year-old, and between men and women showed a tendency to reduce the difference (7). Gallagher and other (8) by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measured 20 to 90 years 136 men and 148 females in skeletal muscle of all limbs, the limbs was found in skeletal muscle than men females developed, but with age, male rates of skeletal muscle atr
