At 80 we are 50% less strong than when we were 30 unless we do something about it. Regular strength training makes movement easier at any age and is an investment for our later years. #strengthsaveslives #trainhardfighteasy #healthyageing πͺπͺ
Sarcopenia...
The most under appreciated condition in healthcare

Many hospitals now use daily or more screening for new #delirium in inpatients.
Some reports of a modified Single Question in Delirium (SQiD) being used, & if +ve, followed by tool eg. 4AT.
Does anyone have experience of this?
