Watch @abcnews cover this research here: youtu.be/d3bsUawSoB4?si=Do4zโฆ
@David_D_Ward @UQ_CHSR @UQ_News
Study found frailty accelerates up to 9 years before dementia onset and is a key early marker. Frailty was linked to higher dementia risk even when measured years before dementia onset and may represent a target for prevention efforts.

This research was led by AFN and @UQ_CHSR Research Fellow Dr @David_D_Ward, and the findings give new hope that early intervention can prevent the onset of dementia.
