Muscle's Role in Cancer, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, and Dementia: What Can Be Done? William Y. Shang, MD Wednesday, June 27 10 -11 am Ithaca Falls Room, Ithaca College Campus Center In this talk, Dr. Shang will discuss the “how” and “why” of exercise and share some specific training tips to combat sarcopenia, the muscle loss associated with aging. Sarcopenia is strongly correlated with osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and dementia. In recent years, studies have uncovered the unsung metabolic role of muscle in all of these diseases. Dr. Shang explains how applying resistance exercise as part of a structured exercise routine can treat elevated glucose, high blood pressure, and chronic systemic inflammation, as well as prevent/delay the onset of osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and cognitive decline. Dr. Shang is certified by the American College of Sports Medicine, with additional board certification in pathology.
