How to use "Cachexia" in context?
Cachexia is a condition that results when the body loses muscle mass and starts to deteriorate as a result. The body's muscles are responsible for helping to move things around and maintain balance. When these muscles start to decrease in size and strength, it can lead to a variety of problems, including an inability to walk or even crawl.cachexia can affect people of any age, but is most common in elderly adults. There is no single cause for cachexia, but it can be the result of a number of different illnesses and treatment regimes. Cachexia can also be a sign of serious health problems, and should be treated as such.
