Tan Tock Seng Hospital has launched a clinic dedicated to identifying and managing sarcopenia — the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength — to prevent falls and disability in older adults.

• Integrated care: The Muster Clinic, opened in July 2025, combines nutrition, exercise and oral health interventions for older adults with sarcopenia.
• Prevalence: Studies suggest a significant proportion of older Singaporeans have sarcopenia, which can lead to falls, fractures and reduced independence.
• Personalized programmes: Patients receive tailored plans — including resistance training, dietary advice and balance support — to increase muscle mass and functional ability.
