Join us on the journey to advance musculoskeletal and disease-related malnutrition healthcare
Musculoskeletal health is a pivotal component of overall well-being
Disease-related malnutrition can significantly exacerbate musculoskeletal issues, complicating the course of various conditions such as chronic inflammatory diseases, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. Disorders and ailments within this domain can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, leading to pain, limited mobility, and reduced functionality
Sarcopenia, a prevalent condition in older adults, leads to disability and increased mortality, with 30% of those over 60 affected globally. Undiagnosed in many cases, it requires early detection and intervention. The mortality rate for older adults with sarcopenia is 41% higher, and the estimated U.S. hospitalization cost is $40.4 billion, highlighting the urgent need for targeted strategies
Cachexia, characterized by rapid muscle loss, results in disability within weeks, lacking quantifiable imaging tests. It affects 10-40% of patients with chronic conditions, impacting over 5 million people in the US. Cachexia contributes to 20% of cancer deaths, and diagnosis relies on criteria such as >5% weight loss, BMI <20, and three accompanying factors like fatigue or anemia
