Higher alcohol consumption leads to greater loss of muscle tissue in postmenopausal women

Both aging and menopause are known to affect sarcopenia, which is a loss of muscle mass and strength, which in turn affects balance, gait, and overall ability to perform tasks of daily living.

The study outcomes are being published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
