Healthy Aging Lecture Series

 

 

About one in four older adults falls each year, sometimes resulting in broken bones, brain injuries, loss of independence, or serious decline in health..  An important contributor is sarcopenia - the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength - which can affect balance and mobility.  Our speakers will explain why sarcopenia occurs, how it contributes to fall risk, and what we can do to prevent or reduce its effects.  Learn practical strategies for building strength, improving balance, maintaining mobility, and staying safely active as we age.
