BioScan touch i8 Screening Tools for Sarcopenia & its Management
Sarcopenia is age-related loss of muscle which is associated with declining physical activity. It is prevalent amongst older subjects and has negative prognostic effect due to falls, disability and mortality risk. Malnutrition can also cause a multitude of health problems including muscle wasting. It is just one of many results of nutritional deficiency.
Sarcopenia in an acute hospitalised geriatric population is prevalent. Recognising and identifying this condition early for intervention could provide better patient outcome. Sarcopenia is often detected late or when a fall has occurred or disability has set in.
