The ICFSR is the only meeting in the world focused exclusively on all aspects of frailty and sarcopenia. The conference offers a selection of keynote presentations, focused symposia, and peer-reviewed poster and free communications on the latest preclinical and clinical research on the topics of frailty and sarcopenia. Led by an internationally recognized organizing committee, the ICFSR brings together clinical, academics and industry leaders to present and discuss the latest research on frailty and sarcopenia.

ICFSR 2020 will focus on:

SARCOPENIA

This edition of the Congress will be targeted at specialists and healthcare professionals sharing the same interest in geriatric medicine: geriatricians, internists, general practitioners, neurologist and physicians from other disciplines, nurses, therapists, gerontologists, researchers and scientists, pharmacists, nutritionists as well at anyone taking care of older patients, in order to understand the medical, clinical and psycho-social approaches to geriatric diseases.

This is the first European Conference on Falls, Frailty & Fractures. The aim of the conference is to take a holistic approach and to bring together researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals and service providers in the disciplines of falls, frailty, fractures, osteoporosis, sarcopenia and nutrition, to enable cross-fertilisation of ideas and with the ultimate aim of developing better management strategies for older patients.

Both Sarcopenia and Frailty are increasingly important and affect many people, especially those aged 80 years and older. Identifying, preventing and treating these conditions will better allow older people achieve Healthy Ageing.

Over two days, there will be opportunity to hear from Internationally renowned scientists and clinicians and collectively, we will improve our knowledge base in these important health related topics.

The International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR 2017) is organized to raise awareness on frailty and sarcopenia.

Concerning frailty the following topics will be addressed: biology of frailty and aging, physical frailty and age-related body composition modifications, cognitive frailty, frailty in clinical practice and public health, clinical trials and therapeutics.
