Listen "Sarcopenia and Aging: Understanding Muscle Loss and Bone Health"

Episode Synopsis

This Bone Talk episode explores the important connection between bone
health and sarcopenia, a condition that causes significant loss of muscle
mass and strength beyond normal aging. Guest expert Dr. Stuart Phillips, a
Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at McMaster University, shares insights from
decades of research on how exercise and nutrition influence muscle and body
composition. Although osteoporosis often gets more attention, sarcopenia
also plays a major role in mobility, independence, and overall quality of
life. Dr. Phillips explains how even small amounts of regular physical
activity can make a meaningful difference as we age.
