What you'll learn in this expert session

Losing muscle mass and strength are key reasons older patients become frail, experience falls, and lose their independence and quality of life. With our ageing population, maintaining muscle health is increasingly important. In this presentation, Dr Anita Munoz, a General Practitioner, provides a practical framework to help healthcare professionals identify and assess older patients with, or at risk of, sarcopenia and muscle weakness, and importantly, explores what can be done to prevent and manage the condition.
