ANZSSFR World Sarcopenia Day Symposium
MONDAY 5 JULY 2021 | 3:00PM-5:30PM AEST
The ANZSSFR World Sarcopenia Day Symposium was presented by the Early- and Mid-Career Researchers and clinicians (EMCR) committee. The 4th of July is World Sarcopenia Day and therefore we dedicated this symposium to highlight this special day. We had an exciting online program including presentations from EMCRs across the world and the outcomes of the Delphi Process on Sarcopenia Diagnosis and Management, led by EMCRs David Scott and Jesse Zanker.
During this symposium, the outcomes of the Delphi process were shared for the first time. This was an important step to standardise sarcopenia diagnosis and management across Australia and New Zealand. We saw experts and consumers attending this symposium who participated in this Delphi process, as their input was valuable to the outcomes. We hope that the outcomes can be implemented into research and clinical practice in Australia and New Zealand.
