| Title | Leading the Fight Against Sarcopenia: Essential Muscle Assessment Skills for Clinicians Powered by PRIME (Promoting Muscle Health Through Empowerment), Asia Pacific Center of Excellence for Muscle Health |
||
| Details | Date: 8 October 2025 Time: 8:30 am – 12:00 pm Venue: Suntec Convention Centre, Level 3, Meeting Room 331 |
||
| Synopsis | Sarcopenia, the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, affects 10% to 27% of adults aged 60 and above. Disease-related malnutrition and muscle loss exacerbate prevalence in hospital to approximately one in four. Sarcopenia increases risks of frailty, falls, and hospitalization, making early detection and management crucial.
Accurate and regular assessment of muscle mass, strength, and function is essential in clinical settings to prevent, diagnose and treat sarcopenia. Techniques range from simple, non-invasive methods to advanced technologies like bedside ultrasound and CT scans. Regular monitoring can identify sarcopenia early, enabling proactive measures to prevent further muscle loss and associated complications. This hands-on interactive workshop incorporates recommendations of the latest sarcopenia guidelines and features four stations that include physical examination, anthropometric measures, functional tests and ultrasound, each structured to teach and enhance accuracy of specific clinical skills. Nutrition Support Team members, physicians, and dietitians in both inpatient and outpatient settings will benefit from this program. |
