Sarcopenia 2013: Where Are We Now? An Update on Aetiology, Diagnosis and Management

9th July 2013 London, United Kingdom

Conference theme

This one day accredited conference will provide a clinical and research update on the important new geriatric syndrome of sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia is the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function with advancing age and there is increasing recognition that it is central to frailty, disability, morbidity and mortality in older people as well as increasing use of health and social care.

It is the focus of intense research activity both in terms of understanding aetiology and developing interventions and there has been considerable recent progress in how sarcopenia should be defined. Yet to date, it is clear that recognition of sarcopenia in the clinical setting lags behind.

This conference aims to provide clinicians and researchers with an update on recent developments in understanding the aetiology of sarcopenia together with practical approaches for its diagnosis and management in clinical practice.

Opportunity to exchange knowledge and share experiences will be of key importance and emphasis will be placed on encouraging new areas of research and young researchers
