New podcast on frailty

  • By Lisa Fuller

Professor Lord and Professor Greenhaff have recently published a review on Frailty in the journal Physiological Reviews, with CMAR PhD student Joe Taylor as the first author (https://journals.physiology.org/doi/epdf/10.1152/physrev.00037.2021). The review discusses the current limitations in our understanding of frailty and in particular that the focus on frailty as a clinical syndrome does not facilitate an understanding of the compromise to different body systems that underlie the progression to frailty. The article makes recommendations for research that will overcome these limitations and lead to interventions to prevent frailty. Here they discuss the article with Dr Christoph Handschin, handling editor at Physiological Reviews.

Medical Research Council Versus Arthritis Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research

We are funded by the Medical Research Council and Versus Arthritis, we are a Centre of Excellence in Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ageing Research. We are integrating and expanding complementary research and postgraduate training activity of the two leading Midlands based Universities, the University of Birmingham and the University of Nottingham, together with their associated NHS hospital trusts.

Versus Arthritis came to life in September 2018 as a result of the merger of two of UK’s largest arthritis charities – Arthritis Research UK and Arthritis Care
