Description

81% of GPs rated this lecture as excellent

In this Healthed lecture, Dr Chris Bollen explains that there is significant value in identifying those people who are at risk of reduced muscle health and intervening early – to prevent or at least reduce further decline.
Maintaining muscle health in older age is an area of growing interest in medicine, and very much the remit of general practice. So being aware of the latest research and recommendations when it comes to screening, diagnosis and management of this condition is of major importance.
