Listen to @RoseAnnekenny1 @tcddublin discuss new research with @ShaneBeattyNews @NewstalkFM that reveals ageing isn't gradual: it happens in 2 dramatic bursts, first at 44 and again at 60. These findings could explain why health issues peak at these ages. #AgeingResearch

🌍Today is the International Day of Friendship🌍

Really nice article, well done @jubroderick and Fiona Kennedy - amazing practical tips for older adults and resistance training. It would be great to chat about this in the context of diet quality / malnutrition @tilda_tcd
