Interesting Opportunity

ASU Researcher and Associate Professor Dr. Chong Lee in the ASU School of Nutrition and Health Promotion has asked ASURA to share information with members about his study on muscle loss.  He is looking for participants between the ages of 60-80.   Participants will have free bone and body composition and arterial stiffness evaluation and will receive $30 compensation. The primary purpose of this study is to establish a new definition of Sarcopenia (muscle loss) using a muscle quality index for men and women.  This project is supported by Mayo Clinic/ASU Obesity Solutions Research funding.  He is collecting data now through February 2017 and encourages participants to come in sooner rather than later.   

The following is a copy of his participant recruitment flyer which includes contact information:
