Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder characterized by the loss of muscle mass, strength, and function associated with aging. It can lead to decreased mobility, frailty, and an increased risk of falls and fractures in older adults. Prevention and management strategies often include resistance exercise training, adequate protein intake, nutritional support, and addressing underlying health conditions contributing to muscle loss.
Patients are the experts in their condition and advocacy groups provide a platform for patient voices. Working directly with these communities is the key to pushing research forward in an inclusive way.
We’ve committed to having 500,000 conversations in the next three years, to equip ourselves and our Pharma partners with the insights needed to increase predictability.
