Research
My research focuses on frailty in older adults. I am interested in how to best measure frailty, as well as understanding how different risk factors and
clinical events impact trajectories of frailty. Multimorbidity is another research interest of mine. I have looked into risk factors for incident mulitmorbidity as well as the relation between multimorbidity patterns and risk of frailty.
