Course Description
Sarcopenia affects up to 40% of adults in the US.

Course Objectives
1. Identify risk factors for the development of sarcopenia in adults with diabetes and obesity.
2. Describe the impact of rapid weight loss on lean body mass in adults following current treatment approaches, including diet and exercise, GLP-1 RA therapy and bariatric surgery.
