![]() ![]() ![]() Finally, the utility of this biological progress will be considered in the context of prevention and intervention strategies targeting frailty in older adults.Ĭommunication 2: Future Implementation Research Priorities, Qian-Li Xu (Johns Hopkins University, School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, USA)ĭespite being one of the most described Geriatric syndromes, and the broad knowledge that frailty is highly associated with early mortality and disability, there has to date been no broadly successful implementation of frailty into clinical practice. Integration of large data sets that include omics and genetics data will also be considered. Walston will provide suggested directions for next generation of studies that would help to link specific molecular changes to dysregulated physiology and ultimately the frailty phenotype in these domains. Chronic inflammation, mitochondria decline, altered energy metabolism, and dysregulated stress response systems and their potential etiological roles in frailty will be discussed. ![]() This symposium provides an overview of progress in physical frailty research to date, and a roadmap for future high priority frailty research in the biological, measurement, clinical implementation, and public health domainsĬommunication 1: Biological Research Priorities, Jeremy Walston (Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA)Īge-related molecular changes and dysregulation of physiological systems have long been hypothesized to drive the development of physical frailty. ![]() A group of frailty-focused investigators centered at Johns Hopkins University have convened a bimonthly frailty working group and identified several major areas of frailty research that would benefit from increased focus. Despite this progress, there remain considerable gaps in knowledge related to frailty measurement, biological etiologies, implementation of frailty into clinical practice, and public health measures to prevent and ameliorate frailty. Over the past 2 decades, great progress has been made in developing frailty assessment methods, understanding the consequences of frailty, and in identifying important biological characteristics related to physical frailty.
