Brief Summary

This collaborative study in 9 geriatrics units across Europe aims to apply emerging research to clinical practice, following the "Action-Research Philosophy" (11). The overall goal is to improve care in patients with - and help prevent - sarcopenia. Understanding the frequency of and risk factors for developing sarcopenia in an acute hospital setting, may help shed light on potential interventions and thus inform the development of future therapeutic strategies. It involves crucial implications for research, clinical practice, and policy towards optimal aging.
