Australian and New Zealand Society for Sarcopenia and Frailty Research (ANZSSFR)
Multi-disciplinary meeting that will bring together clinicians including Geriatricians, Rehabilitation Physicians, Endocrinologists, Rheumatologists, General Practitioners, Allied Health Professionals (Physiotherapists, Dietitians, Exercise Physiologists, Nurses, etc.) and scientists with a research interest in all aspects of sarcopenia and frailty and the role of exercise, nutrition, and pharmaceutical approaches to address these conditions.
Sarcopenia and frailty are potentially devastating conditions that affect many people globally and present a major challenge to the functional independence and quality of life of our older population. The theme of this year’s meeting is ‘From Lab to Life: Bridging the Research to Practice Gap for Sarcopenia and Frailty’. Our innovative and dynamic program will showcase new knowledge on preventative and treatment strategies for sarcopenia and frailty, and how these approaches may be translated into clinical settings.
Speakers will include local and international experts, emerging researchers and participants from across the research and practice spectrum. Our scientific program includes ample opportunities for delegates to network in-person, attend a pre-conference workshop and submit abstracts for oral and poster in-person presentations.
