Your modifiable risk factors, turned into a plan
Dr. Rob is prototyping a Modifiable Risk Factor Motivator widget on Stroke first. When it ships it embeds right here — turning each Sarcopenia-relevant risk factor into a tracked, evidence-backed action.
If you ever need to explain your Sarcopenia in 30 seconds, start here.
“I have sarcopenia — age-related muscle loss. It makes me weaker, slower, and more prone to falls. I do resistance training, eat enough protein, and stay active. I wanted you to know because falls and weakness can quickly become loss of independence. If I fall, please help me get checked. And if I’m losing weight without trying, that’s a sign I need a workup.”

What Sarcopenia Is
Age-related muscle mass + strength + function loss. Accelerates after 60.
Why Training Matters
Resistance exercise is the single most effective intervention. Bar none.
Red Flags
Fall with possible fracture · sudden severe weakness · rapid weight loss.
Triggers for Acceleration
Hospitalization, illness, surgery, depression, low protein intake.
Diagnosis
Grip strength, walking speed, DEXA body composition, sometimes muscle ultrasound.
Resistance Training
2-3x/week, all major muscle groups. Supervised PT helpful.
Protein Intake
1.0-1.2 g/kg/day (higher in some). Spread across meals.
Vitamin D + Calcium
Bone-muscle axis is real. Check levels.
Walking + Balance
Daily walking + balance work (tai chi, yoga). Pairs with resistance.
Make Every Visit Count
Bring grip-strength and walking-speed trends if measured.
Your Care Team
PCP or geriatrician, PT, dietitian, sometimes endocrinology.
Activity Trackers
Steps, exercise minutes — feedback that drives habit.
Insurance & Cost
PT often covered. SilverSneakers and similar programs covered by Medicare.
Teach & Mentor
Sarcopenia is hidden but reversible. Spread the strength-training message.
Advocate
Push for sarcopenia screening in primary care.
Research & Trials
Myostatin inhibitors, optimized protein protocols, novel exercise modes.
