Typically, muscle mass and strength increase steadily from birth and reach their peak at around 30 to 35 years of age. After that, muscle power and performance decline slowly and linearly at first, and then faster after age 65 for women and 70 for men.

After you turn 40 or so, your muscle strength and function start to decline, even if you exercise regularly. A new study by University of Guelph researchers suggests why it happens and may point to ways to stem the losses.Without intervention, decreases in muscle size and strength of 10–15% per decade are observed after the age of 50 years, with increasing rates of loss after the age of 65 (22).
Does age correlate to strength
Aging process leads to a distinct muscle mass and strength loss. The decline of the muscle strength of people, who were younger than 40 years, in comparison to those, who were older than 40 years was ranged between 16.6% and 40.9%.
