Strategic objectives
To improve knowledge of geriatric medicine (diseases and disabilities in older adults and care systems), with a focus primarily on risk reduction (patient safety) and the prevention or delay of physical and mental disability. To specifically include patients in care homes and other complex patients in clinical research projects.
Research lines
- Definition of sarcopenia (GLIS criteria) and frailty. Value of nutritional and exercise intervention in the prevention of physical disability.
- Diagnostic criteria for malnutrition (GLIM) and sarcopenic obesity (SOGLI)
- Indications for nutritional intervention in geriatrics
- Appropriate medication prescribing in older adults.
- Prognostic value of comprehensive geriatric assessment.
