@JournalGIM The good news is that there are several resources available to support inclusion of older adults in research. Check out the https://t.co/gBiKh9C4ye as one example.

New age at NIH enrollment data shows that many studies fall far short of inclusion across the lifespan. This Perspective highlights relevance to general #internalmedicine & suggests ways to support inclusion of #olderadults in #research @barrett_bowling https://t.co/McPlq14ryv

[C. Barrett Bowling @barrett_bowling]

Bright and early.

[C. Barrett Bowling @barrett_bowling]

Looking forward to hearing about ways to improve #inclusion across the lifespan at the upcoming #AGS22 meeting with @cynthiaboyd16, Elizabeth Eckstrom, @BandeenKaren, and @AmerGeriatrics

Older adults were less likely to be included in studies of emerging tech and methods (Telehealth 18%, data science 17%, technology 8%, machine learning 7%).

@Neilyoung is the geriatrics voice we need. Strongest connection I have to my dad. Still fitting for my kids’ future. This is what it should mean to #age. #lookatmylife #banjosplaying @AmerGeriatrics @paula_span @iwashyna

Sustaining blood pressure control may be an effective approach to slow multimorbidity progression and may reduce the population burden of #multimorbidity. #geriatrics https://t.co/HZ4Yd0cRzj

I’m excited to share our findings that sustained BP control is associated with an 8 to 10-year delay in #multimorbidity progression among older adults treated for #hypertension. @MuntnerPaul @nih_nhlbi @DukeGeriatrics

[Durham VA Center of Innovation @DurhamADAPT]

Uncontrolled #bloodpressure (BP) is a significant risk factor for many chronic conditions

New @AGSJournal article by @barrett_bowling & colleagues explores the relationship between BP control and the progression of #multimorbidity...check it out: https://t.co/KIj7B4mZym

LTC workers commonly need 2nd paid jobs on top of unpaid caregiving roles. Have to keep these facts front & center in considering how to help nursing homes through COVID and beyond. Great work @chvanhoutven @nbcoe1 N DePasquale @DurhamADAPT @duke_pophealth @Duke_GIM

[C. Barrett Bowling @barrett_bowling]

Great vascular surgery and #geriatrics collaboration shows that we should be asking patients about life space: how far do you go, how often do you go there, how much help do you need when you go?
