How common is frailty in Norway? Based on data from @theHUNTstudy we present prevalence and future estimates of frailty and pre-frailty in older adults using both dominant frailty models. @grotangen1 @EmielHoogendijk @aldringoghelse

It can be shocking just how little attention is paid to mobility in hospital. Both at the start: no comment on how the person moves now. Silence on what they were like at baseline. How can we help people “get better” (or home) if we don’t know what better looks like for them?

Citing; "when conducting IC research,measurement instruments need to examine capacities,not only absence of deficits" @EmielHoogendijk and colleagues provide important perspective on where we stand in IC research.

En fjerdedel av leteaksjonene jeg har vært med på gjelder #demens. De fleste finner vi, noen blir aldri funnet og noen omkommer sier Erlend Aarsæther fra @norskfolkehjelp Vi må sørge for at folk ikke dør unødvendig, men ha trygghetsteknologi som selvfølgelig del av helsetilbudet

Hva vil regjeringen gjøre for at opptrappingsplanen for habilitering og rehabilitering ikke skal bli en nedtrappingsplan? spør @KToppe helseminister @BentHHoyre https://t.co/KnWR1IpX9T

Legemiddelbivirkninger forebygges ikke med en "kvikkfiks", men gjennom grundige og individuelle kliniske vurderinger.

Conclusion once again: Strenght or/and endurance exercises is not enough. No quick fix in 12 weeks. Add balance exercises. Prevent falls. https://t.co/x67MQKS2UQ

Forsøker å forestille meg tilværelsen for en familie som på fem dager mistet fem barn i alderen 2-15. Tenker på hvor heldige vi er som lever i en tid og et land hvor barn kan få vaksiner - og på hvor skremmende det er at så mange voksne fortsatt er mot å la barna få vaksinene.

We believe gait speed with cut‐off 1.0 m/s could represent a useful tool for identifying individuals who are vulnerable but not yet disabled and could benefit from fall‐preventive exercise.
