Sarcopenia/Under-nutrition

Our work involves finding strategies for prevention and intervention to increase overall wellbeing.

Sarcopenia and under-nutrition is an area of interest for the research group. Most recently we have contributed to the consensus activities of the Australian and New Zealand Sarcopenia and Frailty Research Society.

What is sarcopenia and how to prevent it?
