When it comes to healthy aging, the number on the scale doesn't tell the whole story.
In this episode of The Geriatric Dietitian Podcast, we're talking about sarcopenia - the loss of muscle that occurs with aging - and why preserving muscle is so important for older adults.
We'll look at the relationship between muscle mass, function, independence, falls, frailty, and mortality. We'll also discuss sarcopenic obesity and why someone can live in a larger body while still having inadequate muscle mass.
In this episode, you'll learn:
-
What sarcopenia is and why it matters
-
Why weight and BMI don't tell us about body composition
-
What sarcopenic obesity means
-
How muscle loss can impact function, independence, and mortality
-
Why weight loss isn't always a positive outcome in older adults
-
Why preserving muscle should be a priority as we age
This episode is part three of a five-part series on BMI in older adults.
