Summary
This study looks at 100 older adults (65+) who have sarcopenia (muscle loss) and a history of falls. Researchers will check how many are taking medications that might make muscle loss worse, like steroids or statins. The goal is to understand how common these drugs are in this group, which could help doctors prescribe more safely in the future.
