New Resource Available: “You Are Stronger than Sarcopenia”
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health (OWH) has released a new video, “You Are Stronger than Sarcopenia.” This video, part of our larger ongoing Stronger than Sarcopenia campaign, defines sarcopenia–a condition characterized by muscle and strength loss that is associated with aging–and discusses how women and health care providers can work together to address it. In the video, experts will highlight sarcopenia’s recognized risk factors, how to address them, and how to stay #StrongerThanSarcopenia. The video also highlights a story from a lived experience advocate who discusses her loss of muscle and strength as she aged and how strength training helped her regain independence.
