How Is Sarcopenia Diagnosed?
Sarcopenia is diagnosed with the use of a sarcopenia index, which measures muscle mass and strength. Your doctor may also order other tests to determine the cause of your sarcopenia.
How Is Sarcopenia Treated?
Resistance training is the main treatment recommended for sarcopenia. Your physiotherapist can design an exercise that works for you to rebuild muscle mass, improve balance and reduce frailty.
Exercise not only increases muscle mass, but also reduces the risk of falls, and in turn reduces the risk of fractures and long hospital stays.
