Singapore hospitals launch S$10m national research project to treat age-related muscle loss
A S$10-million national research project in Singapore will bring hospitals together in treating sarcopenia. Officially termed a disease just nine years ago, it is characterised by severe muscle loss and can lead to greater frailty and lower immunity. One in three adults aged 60 and above in Singapore have the condition. The research project aims to come up with new therapies and preventive treatments within its funding period of five years.
