World Sarcopenia Day July 4th 2023
World Sarcopenia Day (July 4th 2023) serves as an opportunity to raise awareness and knowledge for the prevalent disease, sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a muscle disease that can drastically impede upon individuals physical function, independence, and overall quality of life.
