Physical activity helps to maintain lean muscle mass during menopause

Physical activity was found to be positively associated with the maintenance of muscle mass during the menopausal transition.

It seems that even though menopause alone decreases muscle mass, staying physically active throughout middle age can help women to slow the change.
