A member asked:

Is there a common reason why middle age people's arms get flabby so easily?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Age and laxity: Thanks for your inquiry. As we age our collagen strength does decrease and gravity is a constant force. However, at age 37 you are still young. I find the forces of pregnancy and weight gain and loss are more influential than simply time in your 30s.
