Starting as early as age 30, we all begin to lose muscle mass and strength. However, some of us lose it more quickly due to a serious condition called sarcopenia, which becomes more common with age. Sarcopenia can significantly impact a person’s quality of life by reducing the ability to perform simple tasks of daily living, increasing disability, reducing independence, and increasing the need for long-term care. It can also lead to health problems/complications such as falls and fractures, more frequent and longer hospitalizations, more post-surgery complications, and a raised risk of death.
This educational webinar explores muscle health with aging—including how muscle decline is detected and the importance of nutrition intervention and physical exercise in prevention and recovery.
