What does someone stand to lose without muscle mass? 

Was asked this and was taken aback. Curious what your take is

Hi keccers
As a physical therapist yknow i see a lot of cases like this so i just want to say it's totally more than just losing strength. It affects balance, mobility, and even posture. Plus patients metabolism usually also takes a hit, making it easier to gain fat and harder to burn their energy. Not to mention the risk of injury goes up since our body's muscles help support the skeleton and joints. And, over time, it can affect overall health, like bone density and cardiovascular health. Honestly soo much more things. Its crazy how important it is, right? 
For you what was your take when you first heard it?"
