BBC TV’s flagship health programme, “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor”, has enlisted the help of the Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research (CMAR) members at the University of Nottingham to find out if the age-related loss of muscle mass and function can be minimised by a simple but regular home-based exercise programme.
Under the Researcher Links scheme offered within the Newton Fund, the British Council and FAPESP will be holding a workshop on the above theme in Sao Paulo, Brazil from 16th to 18th of March 2016.

In the MRC-ARUK Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research (CMAR) we all know the benefits of keeping active as we age, and on Sunday 27th of September 2015, we had the opportunity to play a major role in the filming of a new series of programs about healthy ageing which will go out across the airwaves in the UK in the near future.
On the 13th of September 2015, 12 members of the MRC-Arthritis Research UK Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research (CMAR), ran the 13.1 miles of arguably the world’s greatest half marathon. Starting in Newcastle upon Tyne the Great North Run route is lined with supporters all the way from the iconic Tyne Bridge, all the way out towards the coast (and finish line) in South Shields.
Congratulations to Daniel Craig a PhD Student in the Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research (CMAR), who was the author of one of fourteen ‘outstanding’ articles (“Fighting flesh poverty: an apple a day?”) that were shortlisted for this year’s Max Perutz Science Writing Award, the Medical Research Council’s annual writing competition.
Age Well went ahead as planned on Thursday the 10th of September 2015. This was the 6th annual event of its kind since it began in 2010. Once again, this year saw us move to a bigger venue as the event continues to grow in popularity with approximately 200 ‘delegates’ or attendees from the Birmingham 1000 Elders group.
Thirteen members of the MRC-Arthritis Research UK Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research, not satisfied with just focusing their research on healthy ageing, are further supporting Arthritis Research UK by running the Great North Run in September.

Scientists here at the University of Birmingham have undertaken a study with colleagues at Kings College London in order to assess the relationship between age and a diverse range of physiological functions in a cohort of highly active older individuals (cyclists) aged 55–79 years in whom the effects of lifestyle factors would be ameliorated.
