The award funds a study to measure muscle mass and physical function in cancer survivors and controls using innovative methods, aiming to understand and mitigate low muscle mass effects in older adults.
Description
This project will measure muscle mass using the D3-creatine dilution method in a large cohort of postmenopausal women, including cancer survivors and controls, to study aging and survivorship outcomes. It aims to create age-standardized muscle mass percentile curves, compare muscle mass and physical function between cancer survivors and controls, and use machine learning to generate risk-prediction algorithms for low muscle mass.
