Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Admitted to the UTMB hospital
* Aged 65 years or older
* Self-reported ability (with or without the aid of an assistive device) to walk across a small room two weeks prior to hospitalization
* Alert and oriented x3 by a physician on H\&P.
* Discharged "to home" at hospital discharge. Participation in the study will be terminated in those subjects not discharged to home after hospital stay.

Exclusion Criteria

* End stage renal disease
* AST/ALT 2.5 times above the normal limit
* Recent (within 3 months) or current treatment with anabolic steroids.
* History of breast or prostate cancer
* Palpable prostate nodule or induration or prostate specific antigen (PSA) ≥ 4 ng/ml (PSA ≥ 3 ng/ml in men at high risk of prostate cancer)
* Hematocrit ≥ 50%
* Any other condition or event considered exclusionary by the PI and faculty physician
