Skeletal muscle: a critical organ for survival and recovery in critical illness. Critical care settings are extremely challenging environments to preserve muscle health. ICU patients can lose ~2% of the muscle mass per day in the first week of admission. A number of factors

Looking forward to presenting in this symposium at the World Congress on Menopause tomorrow and discussing the topic "Sarcopenia: Can we make progress without a universally accepted definition?" My conclusion slide is below for those who don't mind a spoiler! #IMS2024

Not only is the cost of living rising but page charges for those of us trying to publish our research with the aim to improve health outcomes, policy, practice etc. Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle can u explain why it costs US$5400 = >AU$8000 😳 to publish in your journal? Highest I have seen!

Sarcopenia affects 1 in 5 Aussies aged 60+, yet muscle health is often overlooked. IPAN's Prof Robin Daly, A/Prof David Scott, and team have 5 key strategies to boost muscle health assessment and management in clinical practice. www1.racgp.org.au/ajgp/2024/octo… Prof Robin Daly | David Scott

We are working on it Greg & have a new #muscle health algorithm for use in primary care that we will trial next yr + have a presentation @GPCE #Melbourne on why muscle matters David Scott Stay tuned for more..

As we age, muscle mass and strength naturally decline, making everyday tasks harder. But as A/Prof David Scott points out, resistance training can counter this process, keeping us active and reducing risk of chronic diseases. Read his full comments: deakin.au/3DIhApi

The problem with weight loss? It often comes at the cost of muscle and physical function - especially in older adults. That’s why exercise isn’t optional during weight loss. It’s essential. But does resistance training outperform aerobic training? New data in obese older
