The Office on Women’s Health is excited to share information about “Stronger than Sarcopenia,” a new nationwide campaign to raise awareness for sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle and strength that can happen when someone gets older and does less physical activity. This may cause trouble with daily activities like standing from a chair, walking, twisting the lid off a jar, or carrying groceries. Over time, loss of strength can lead to falls or other injuries.
