The Skeletal Muscle Health and Wellness Program (SMHWP) aims to improve the health and quality of life for Canada’s aging population by promoting physical activity and addressing the impacts of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) on skeletal muscle health. The program will conduct research to understand how ACE affects muscle weakness and develop community-based wellness programs to encourage regular exercise among older adults. By offering accessible and inclusive physical activity classes, support groups, and educational campaigns, the SMHWP seeks to reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The program will also provide financial incentives and support to encourage participation and ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, can benefit from a healthier lifestyle. Through its holistic and integrative approach, the SMHWP aims to create a culture of active living, improve public health outcomes, and decrease the burden on Canada’s healthcare system.
