Social-media based health education plus exercise programme (SHEEP) to improve muscle function among young-old adults with possible sarcopenia in the community: A feasibility study protocol

Abstract

Background Despite the comparatively high prevalence of possible sarcopenia among young-old adults in the community, there is currently no available and effective social media-based intervention to increase the awareness and behaviour of the target population in order to prevent sarcopenia. Using co-design methodology, we developed a multicomponent intervention strategy of health education and exercise for sarcopenia prevention utilizing the TikTok platform.
