About the webinar:

Sarcopenia and frailty are highly prevalent but poorly diagnosed in older hospitalised patients. In this webinar, we’ll explore new recommendations from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Sarcopenia and Frailty Research (ANZSSFR) with ANZSSFR President, Professor Andrea Maier. Professor Maier will identify practical steps for screening, diagnosing and managing sarcopenia and frailty, while drawing attention to the need for a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates awareness and education initiatives. Professor Maier will also highlight how patient and carer education can be a helpful strategy to promote adherence to sarcopenia and frailty treatment.
