You are less likely to have sarcopenia but it may be starting to develop.

Key Results to take note of:

Your Screening form suggest that you are not likely to have sarcopenia (1 point). However as your Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (5.9kg/m2) is found to be <6.42kg/m2 (female cutoff) from the bioimpedance analysis, you would need to take action now to delay Sarcopenia from developing. 

What's the plan

Focus on:

• activities that build strength (like bodyweight exercises at the gym or at home or incorporate activities into your lifestyle such as climbing the stairs, carrying groceries, etc.), 

• making sure that you have protein in each meal and snacks

• spreading your protein-rich meals out (aiming for 3 to 5 hours between meals) while making sure you're eating enough energy overall. 

• Making sure that you Either have meals before 4 hours before sleep with about 40g of protein OR 3 meals + 1 protein snack

• Making small changes like taking the stairs and swapping carb-rich snacks for protein-rich snacks could help minimise the risk of Sarcopenia!

• Continuing to include calcium-rich foods in your diet

Based on the results, it is suggested that the approximate amount of daily protein to consume: at least 68g protein/day. This amount may change according to weight and goals.
