o sarcopenia
o ataxia
o anemia
o cachexia

Explanation:

Age - related loss of muscle mass is known as sarcopenia. It is a common condition associated with aging where muscle fibers decrease in size and number. Atrophy refers to a general decrease in the size of a tissue or organ, but sarcopenia specifically targets muscle mass related to age. Aplasia is the failure of an organ or tissue to develop. Cachexia is a severe wasting syndrome often associated with chronic diseases like cancer or AIDS, not specifically age - related muscle loss.

Answer:

Sarcopenia
