In our paper, we cautioned that multiplying #frailty subtypes could dilute the concept's holistic intent
...Just saw it cited to justify a new subtype: #vascularfrailty
Not quite the takeaway we had in mind... 😅

The MOSAIC study addresses that the @who.int #HealthyAgeing concept "psychological capacity" lacks clear conceptualisation:

The project has now published the definition and conceptual framework resulting from discussions in the International Working Group, which is now being further refined in a #Delphi study

A single measurement may not tell the full story
In a cohort of 300,000+ home #care recipients, distinct trajectories of #IntrinsicCapacity were linked to different outcomes, highlighting the value of longitudinal monitoring for #HealthyAgeing and care planning

Hi! Time for an updated #introduction!
I'm Matteo — a geriatrician and researcher.
Professor of Geriatrics (on leave) at the University of Milan, now at WHO working on healthy #ageing and care for older people.
My research focuses on #Frailty and #IntrinsicCapacity, and on preventing the disabling cascade.
Working in #Geriatrics, #PublicHealth, or #aging research? Say "Hi!" and let me know what are you working on👇

#Frailty and #IntrinsicCapacity are not competing constructs
Their complementary use supports delivering integrated, person-centred #care for older people, grounded in a holistic, capacity-focused, #multidisciplinary approach
#Frailty and #IntrinsicCapacity: integrating complementary concepts to promote healthy #ageing and transformation of #care
"...what unites and differentiates them, and how each contributes to a common understanding of high-quality, integrated care for older people..."

#Frailty: a global #health challenge in need of local action
To me, a critical issue in frailty (and #IntrinsicCapacity) is realising the limited importance of tools in capturing the condition of interest.
Contextualise and be pragmatic; one (tool) will never fit all (globally).
