Apolipoprotein ɛ4 is associated with increased risk of #fall- and #fracture-related hospitalisation: the Perth Longitudinal Study of Ageing #Women. An excellent paper by @marc_p_sim et al. academic.oup.com/biomedgerontol… @geronsociety

The @ANZSSFR 2024 Conference 22nd May - 24th May in Melbourne and feature several AuPS members as invited speakers. Abstract submissions as well as earlybird registrations will close on 5th April and there is a special registration rate.

Bridging the research to practice gap for sarcopenia and frailty. That’s the focus of our upcoming @ANZSSFR meeting in Melbourne, Australia. We’ve developed an exciting program with a mix of international and domestic speakers at the forefront of sarcopenia and frailty research. Don’t hesitate to secure your spot! anzssfrconference.org

Higher intakes of foods rich in vitamin K1 (green leafy vegetables and plant oils) may help lower the risk of aortic stenosis and subsequent complications @F_dalgaard @marc_p_sim @LCBlekkenhorst @bondonnoN ahajrnls.org/41UXoIi

In our latest study in JBMR, we demonstrate that frailty, assessed using the frailty index, is a major risk factor for incident hospitalised and self-reported falls and fracture in community-dwelling older women.

Exciting PhD opportunity with our team to better understand how cardiometabolic diseases develop/progress, a focus on how to prevent progression of blood vessel disease & develop world-first disease screening & behavior change programs. DM @csmithAEP or @marc_p_sim for details!

For older women, higher dietary vitamin K1 intake is associated w lower long-term fracture risk. A regular daily vitamin K1 intake of ~1-2 serves of green leafy vegetables 75-150g may be important for lowering fracture risk. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36169025/ #WorldOsteoporosisDay

Our automated algorithm that assess abdominal aortic calcification, including severity, from dxa-derived lateral spine images is associated with higher hazards for a fall (35%) and fracture (42%). @JackDallaVia @csmithAEP asbmr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jb…

However, these charities require more support to continue doing their amazing work, especially with youth and suicide prevention. Your donation would be greatly appreciated! toyboxaustralia.grassrootz.com/bunker-bay-300… @aipolsci @EdithCowanUni

Yesterday, I did a 305 km charity bike ride in 11 hours from Perth to Bunker Bay to raise funds for 3 mental health charities in southwest WA (20Talk, kaifella, blue tree project). It was tough cycling all day in the rain & wind, but well worth it with over $100k raised so far!

New @DeakinIPAN research study - Please share with family and friends worldwide!🌏 We're inviting adults aged 60 years and older to share their views on physical function 💪🚶 - How important is physical function to you? - What support would you like in order to maintain or improve physical function? Participation involves completing two brief, anonymous online surveys. Learn about the study and register to participate here: researchsurveys.deakin.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_5j… Researchers and health professionals interested in collaborating?

@MckayAlannah @NikitaFensham Congrants nikita and team ")

Incredibley proud of @NikitaFensham submitting her PhD today! 3 published papers and more to come. My first PhD student, and I couldn't have asked for a more intelligent, kind and enthusiastic one at that😃You can read her work here: PMID: 34942595 PMID: 37347443 PMID: 35869933

Really honoured to receive a 2023 WA Young Tall Poppy award. As scientists, it is absoloutely critical that we get our evidenced based messages out to community! This is especially relevant to nutrition research with so much misinformation these days! #YTP2023 #TallPoppy
