Muscular Health Campaign
Muscular Health Campaign
With the help of the "Mais Ajuda Lidl 2021" project we have developed a solution to assess and mitigate physiological decline in the elderly.
The Muscular Health Campaign aims to raise awareness in our communities about the prevention of Sarcopenia and Frailty through screening.
With the Lipowise and Gripwise handheld devices connected to iOS/Android mobile apps, a guided Sarcopenia and Fagility assessment can be done in a matter of minutes.
What is Sarcopenia?
Sarcopenia is a disease that is characterized by progressive and widespread loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. It is closely correlated with physical disability, poor quality of life, and premature death.
This disease can bring adverse consequences to the quality of life of the elderly, making them more dependent, susceptible to falls and fractures, increasing the number of hospitalizations and associated health care costs.
Sáez & García-Isidoro (2021)
What is Frailty?
Physical frailty is a syndrome characterized by a physiological state of high susceptibility to adverse health consequences. It leads to poorer clinical outcomes, high costs for health care systems, and an enormous loss of quality of life for the individual.
The mortality of users with frailty syndrome, over three years, is about six times higher when compared to non-frail patients.
The solution for a healthy and active aging
If identified early, Sarcopenia and frailty can be mitigated or reversed with interventions aimed at increasing physical activity and improving nutrition.
