Great paper from Dr Lani Henry and HART showing that 1 in 5 people >45 fall at least once a year in the Torres Strait, with 2/3rds reporting an injury.

Study found frailty accelerates up to 9 years before dementia onset and is a key early marker. Frailty was linked to higher dementia risk even when measured years before dementia onset and may represent a target for prevention efforts. ja.ma/4hLFake

This research was led by AFN and UQ Centre for Health Services Research Research Fellow Dr David Ward, and the findings give new hope that early intervention can prevent the onset of dementia.

In almost 30,000 participants of 4 cohort studies over 20+ years of follow-up, we found that #frailty was a strong risk factor for #dementia and accumulated rapidly from 9 years before dementia onset. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… UQ Medicine 1/3
