Building resilience and reversing frailty: a randomised controlled trial of a primary care intervention for older adults
(2023)Background: There is a need for effective primary care interventions that help older people combat frailty and build resilience. Objective: To study the effectiveness of an optimised exercise and dietary protein ... -
In their own words: The voices of Older Irish people in the COVID-19 pandemic
(The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing, Trinity College Dublin, 2021)Since COVID-19 was declared an international pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in March 2020 (HSE, 2021), older people have carried the greatest burden of serious infection and death from the virus. ... -
Involving older people in co-designing a primary-care intervention to reverse frailty and build resilience
(2021)Background: An essential consideration in health research is to conduct research with members of the public rather than for them. Public and patient involvement (PPI) of older people in research can improve enrolment, ... -
Network Physiology in Aging and Frailty: The Grand Challenge of Physiological Reserve in Older Adults
(2021)In this Specialty Grand Challenge, we outline our vision of the current challenges in the field of Network Physiology as applied to aging and frailty. An expected development in this field for the 21st century is the ... -
Protocol for a randomised controlled trial of a primary care intervention to Reverse Frailty and Enhance Resilience through Exercise and dietary protein Education (REFEREE) in community-dwelling adults aged 65 and over
(2020)Introduction: Resistance exercises and dietary protein have been shown to reverse frailty, yet they are not commonly offered in clinical practice. We aim to measure changes in health outcomes, including physical frailty ... -
Testing the feasibility of a primary-care exercise intervention to prevent and reverse early frailty and build resilience in community-dwelling older adults
(2022)Background: Resistance exercises have been shown to prevent and reverse frailty but their application in clinical practice is low. We wished to test the feasibility of an optimised exercise intervention for mild or pre-frailty ...
