Dr Pearse-Danker explains his reasons for prescribing Ensure Plus Advance, and outlines the significant impact it had on Mrs Pearse's strength, quality of life and independence.

Increased muscle strength

Able to climb stairs unaided and cook own meals
Able to continue living in her own home

Abstract: Frail and sarcopenic patients are at increased risk of malnutrition and muscle loss, which in turn, can escalate the progression of frailty. However, frailty can be treated and promoting healthy ageing from middle age onwards could delay its onset as people grow older.
