The pattern of clinical weakness raises the specific question of inclusion body myositis. In this case, appropriate ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes could include M62.81 (Muscle weakness [generalized]), G72.9 (Myopathy, unspecified), or G72.41 (Inclusion body myositis [IBM]), depending on the clinician’s level of diagnostic certainty. If extensive ...

Despite the lack of a widely accepted definition, sarcopenia was assigned an ICD-10 code (M62.84) in 2016, recognizing it as a disease state.
Sarcopenia is a factor in changing body composition associated with aging populations; and certain muscle regions are expected to be affected first, specifically the anterior thigh and abdominal muscles.
There are multiple theories proposed to explain the mechanisms of muscle changes of sarcopenia including changes in satellite cell recruitment, changes in anabolic signalling, protein oxidation, inflammation, and developmental factors.
Lack of exercise is a significant risk factor for sarcopenia and exercise can dramatically slow the rate of muscle loss. Exercise can be an effective intervention because aging skeletal muscle retains ability to synthesize proteins in response to short-term resistance exercise.
