Yep, you begin losing something like ~.5%-1% of your muscle mass per year after 40 or ~5-8% per decade if you don't do anything about it.
(and by "anything", not sure it includes the old people at the gym who put 10lbs on the leg extension machine and lazily do a few reps... but, maybe it gets the hear rate up a bit if nothing else...)
