Muscle loss is a major symptom of aging, but it results more from lack of use of muscle than age itself. It is largely preventable with the right combination of exercise and muscle nutrition.
Combine weight training with foods rich in protein to avoid loss of muscle with exercise. Include protein with every meal or snack. Working each body part just once a week will make a significant difference. Training for strength is different than training for muscle mass. For strength, you exercise for shorter duration – 4 to 6 repetitions.
A good place to find out more information is http://www.antiaging-wellness.com/Pages/Antiaging/Bodybuilding/index.php This is about muscle building as we age, rather than competitive bodybuilding.
Hope this helps

It is a natural phenomena.
Your aging depends on your life style.
