A meta-analysis on sarcopenia dysphagia, highlighting age (1.65X) and malnutrition (1.83X) as two major risk factors, setting up a vicious triad of malnutrition, dysphagia, and sarcopenia dysphagia in older adults #malnutrition #sarcopenia link.springer.com/article/10.100…

In order to combat malnutrition and enhance muscle health at a population level, there is a need to highlight the importance of both along a life-course perspective. There is also a need to convey to the general public why muscle health is important. researchgate.net/publication/39…

The goals of the guideline were to review current literature in/relevant to Asia and provide a practical framework to improve muscle health in community dweling older adults, and promote access and equitable care. researchgate.net/publication/39…

Dementia remains a significant and expanding health care burden. Although the overall prevalence has decreased in the last decade, the incidence of dementia in younger adults have increased. There is a strong link between dementia and malnutrition researchgate.net/publication/39…

There is a close link between poor nutritional health and poor muscle health. A significant self-perpetuating and often unseen undiagnosed complication of sarcopenia arising from malnutrition is sarcopenia dysphagia. researchgate.net/publication/39…
