Social Vulnerability and Frailty in Hospitalized Older Adults. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3766… Being socially vulnerable was associated with increased length of stay, having excess hospital days, and being discharged to long term care from hospital. Nice paper, led by @cm_jasmine

Educate your patients about the importance of muscle strength 🦵
Prevent #sarcopenia by building muscle in youth and maintaining it in middle age to reduce muscle loss as we age.

Interesting research that shows mild exercise significantly boosts cognitive function in older people.
#AgeingWellNZ #HealthyAgeing #Heath
A new study finds mild exercise significantly boosts cognitive function in older adults. Three-month low-intensity cycling routine leads to prefrontal cortex efficiency and better executive function, especially in those aged 68-78.

Building belonging is a critical task for leaders of change. How are we creating a sense of belonging in our teams so everyone is seen & valued for their own unique & authentic selves? Belonging counts more than diversity (the facts) or inclusion (a choice). When we feel we belong, we thrive, and so do the people around us: anitasands.medium.com/divers… By @DrAnitaSands.

It's great to see Taurite Tū, Ageing Well's co-funded project with @HRCNewZealand and @ACCNZ, being rolled out nationally.
Taurite Tū is a falls prevention program developed by Katrina Bryant and her team at Te Runanga o Ōtākou.
Tino pai rawa atu!🥳👏
