Live webinar: Monday, September 14 at 2 p.m. EDT
Frailty, malnutrition, and sarcopenia are interrelated, compounding medical conditions that significantly impact health outcomes in the aging population and the clinically vulnerable. These conditions are now understood to be identifiable, treatable, and preventable. While the physiological understanding of sarcopenia has expanded and new treatment options are being explored, personalized nutrition care provided by dietitians is still essential for the care of patients with any of these conditions.
Advances in body composition techniques make the assessment of fat and muscle wasting more accurate and accessible today than ever before, enhancing the understanding of sarcopenic obesity.
Tackling the Triple Threat: Frailty, Sarcopenia, and Malnutrition is an updated webinar from Dietitians On Demand designed to equip dietitians to treat these conditions with the most effective nutrition care.
Please note: CPEU-eligible certificates will be sent to live attendees only.
