European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People

The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) is an organization that focuses on understanding, diagnosing, and managing sarcopenia—a condition characterized by the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength, and function in older adults. Their goal is to improve health outcomes by providing evidence-based guidelines for healthcare professionals to identify and treat sarcopenia early. This helps maintain mobility, independence, and quality of life for older individuals. EWGSOP's work is important in addressing age-related muscle decline and its associated risks, such as falls and disability.
