Sarcopenia

A leading cause of loss of independence in older age due to muscle mass decline.

Please Drag & Drop Background Image from Toggle Side Panel > Assets

Age-related sarcopenia is the loss of lean muscle mass over time.

Disease-related sarcopenia causes a more acute decline in muscle mass and reduces quality of life as well as life expectancy.

Age-related sarcopenia results in a slow decline of muscle, which can be compounded by illness

Common amongst elderly, sarcopenia displays silently as age-related weakness and muscle wasting. Without enough protein and activity, normal growth and break-down of muscle becomes unbalanced, leading to wasting and weakness.

 

Late stage sarcopenia can lead to loss of independence, which is a leading fear in older populations. Eating to meet nutritional requirements and exercising regularly is important to avoid muscle wasting and provide a strong framework to support healthy recovery when necessary. Getting enough high-quality protein in the diet is important to maintain muscle mass and provide a buffer in case of illness.

Severe sarcopenia is defined as low muscle mass, low muscle strength, and low physical performance

Severe sarcopenia limits quality of life, increases fall risk, and increases overall mortality. Acute sarcopenia can precipitate due to hospitalisation for an illness or surgical procedure. The inflammatory burden from surgery, combined with muscle disuse often leads to acute sarcopenia. The more severe, the larger the likelihood of poor recovery.

 

Close management of nutrition with high protein, nutrient dense foods and supplements contribute to the avoidance and reversal of sarcopenia.

Breast is Best

We recognise that Breast milk is the best nutrition for a baby. It's full of everything a baby needs to grow and develop in a healthy way, and gives children the very best start in life.

Before using infant formula instead of breast milk, consumers should first speak to a health care professional.

A decision not to breastfeed, or to introduce partial bottle feeding, could reduce supply of breast milk and be a difficult decision to reverse.
