    MUSCLE mass is a key indicator of an adult’s strength and health.

    Yet, research has found that one in five adults in Singapore aged 65 and above are at risk of low muscle mass. That number increased to four in five for those at risk of malnutrition, as revealed by the Strengthening Health in Elderly through Nutrition – or Shield – study by Changi General Hospital, SingHealth Polyclinics and healthcare company Abbott.
