Good question 
Recently lost a patient he had severe weight loss and among other things before we lost him he couldn’t work because of the amount of muscle mass he had lost he literally just bones
Muscle mass have a lot more importance 
- mobility, balance and coordination strength 
- helps maintain BMR to an extent 
- posture 
- joint health the list goes on

>literal bones

Yea this one is extreme @keccers.eth

I don't know how old the patient was, but the risk of this increases as you age. The more you have to start, the more you can afford to lose
