Singapore is planning to introduce bone density and muscle health tests for women through Healthier SG, following an announcement by Health Minister Ong Ye Kung. But what can these screenings reveal, particularly for women going through menopause? A Singapore study found that nearly one in five women aged 45 to 69 had sarcopenia, a condition involving the loss of muscle mass and strength. Lance Alexander speaks with Dr June Sheren, Family Physician for Women's Health & Menopause, Tucker Medical on how menopause affects muscle health, the early signs of muscle loss, how bone density and muscle health are assessed, and whether women can rebuild lost muscle through strength training, exercise and nutrition.
