In the article, “Decline in Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Function with Aging in Humans” by John Waterlow, the study of whether aging results in increased DNA oxidation damage and reduced mtDNA abundance and mitochondrial function was tested. The study was done to determine whether or not reduced muscle mitochondrial function could contribute to age-related muscle dysfunction. This study relates to human evolution because the results will help scientist determine if there is something humans can do in future generations to reduce their vulnerability to muscle dysfunction with old age.
The study was done on one hundred forty-six subjects, eighty-six of which were women and 60 being men. There were subgroups of both young and old people, the
