Great presentation on #IntrinsicCapacity by our geriatrician and research fellow Wayne Lok @ICFSRcongress in Toulouse. First report from our international Thrive Project led by our team at @RIMUHC1. Much more to come!

🚨Paper alert
Very happy to share our last work on #IntrinsicCapacity (IC) in dementia with Lewy bodies #DLB (n=154), compared AD (n=644)
👉DLB patients showed lower IC in all domains (locomotion, vitality, psychology, audition), requiring personalized interventions !

Do bone and muscle density/mass and function play essential roles in the #IntrinsicCapacity (IC) domains? What happens with IC when #osteosarcopenia occurs in older persons? New call for papers from the J of #Gerontology Medical Sciences: academic.oup.com/biomedgeront... @geronsociety

Excellent output from an #EAMA project to support the teaching and dissemination of #IntrinsicCapacity to medical students.

I’m reframing my practice with the WHO “intrinsic capacity” lens—mobility, cognition, psychological well-being, vitality, sensory—layered onto disease-directed therapy + #intrinsiccapacity

si la gente se muestra cautelosa hasta el punto de inventar una capacidad intrínseca con el argumento de que la fragilidad está demasiado mal definida y es conceptualmente confusa, esperaría un mayor alboroto (o, más probablemente, una mueca de desprecio)

A blood-based #epigenetic clock for intrinsic capacity predicts mortality and is associated with clinical, immunological and #lifestyle factors

"...a validated tool bridging molecular readouts of #aging and clinical assessments of #IC..."

Our symposium on the role of the #musculoskeletal system as the main determinant of #IntrinsicCapacity @ICFSRcongress was a total success. Presentations from @tilda_tcd, Toledo (@IvanBaltasar) & Geelong as part of the @CIHR_IRSC funded #ThriveProject led by @RIMUHC1 @McGill_DOM

Very nice paper. Congratulations!

To me, a critical issue in #frailty (and #IntrinsicCapacity) is understanding the limited importance of tools in capturing the condition of interest.

We need to contextualise and be pragmatic. One (tool) will never fit all (globally)
