[2023 "Science Popularization China Youth Star Creation Competition"] "Muscle" cannot be lost, how should we prevent sarcopenia?

The winning works of the 2023 "China Science Popularization Star Creation Competition" are written by Yan Xuehua, Hu Cairong, and Zheng Dong.

Sarcopenia is a common disease among the elderly. Data show that the prevalence rate among the elderly aged 65 and above is 14% to 33%, and that among the elderly aged 80 and above is as high as 50% to 60%. However, the onset of sarcopenia is insidious, the clinical manifestations are not obvious, and mild cases are usually difficult to detect. Once symptoms appear, the risk of falls, disability and death in the elderly will be greatly increased. So far, prevention is considered the best measure. This work uses posters to briefly and clearly introduce the characteristics, early signs and preventive measures of sarcopenia, aiming to strengthen the education of sarcopenia risk factors, precursor manifestations and self-detection for the whole people, so as to achieve early identification, early diagnosis and early treatment, and truly prevent and treat sarcopenia.
