[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-won] Seoul National University Hospital-operated Seoul Metropolitan Boramae Medical Center announced on the 15th that Professor Lee Sang-yoon of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine received the 'Rehabilitation Medicine Academic Award (Clinical Field)' at the 50th Anniversary Autumn International Academic Conference of the Korean Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Incheon on the 30th of last month.

The Korean Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine awards the Rehabilitation Medicine Academic Award to physicians who have published the most influential and excellent research papers among domestic rehabilitation medicine specialists in international academic journals over the past year.

In this year's selection process, Professor Lee was honored with this award in recognition of the excellence of his research on "Diagnosis of Spinal Muscle Aging Using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)," published last August in the prestigious geriatrics journal, Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle.

In the study, Professor Lee demonstrated that, compared to MRI equipment, a relatively inexpensive and simple bone density measuring device can accurately diagnose and evaluate spinal muscle mass and the degree of aging.

Professor Lee expressed his award acceptance, saying, "I am very pleased to have my research excellence recognized by the academy and to receive this academic award," and added, "Based on the community elderly cohort we have established, I will continue to conduct various studies related to spinal and muscle aging."
