1/4 With a lot of great #geriheme coming out of #ASH2020, a couple of informative, recently-published articles from colleagues in other areas of aging research to highlight...
2/4 Older adults a more heterogeneous group than younger adults? Although likely not debated, here is data to back this up. "Overall health heterogeneity increases with age but does not uniformly increase across all variables and domains." Thoughtful discussion @quocdngu et al
3/4 Measures of #frailty stratify this heterogeneous population to identify those whose age-related changes put them at risk of poor outcomes. But even within strata of frailty, there are different patterns of complexity: article by @BriOlivieriMui, @shisadoctor, @DaeKimMD
4/4 Improving data collection and curation is allowing us to understand aging heterogeneity like never before. The more we understand, the greater the need for #geriatricassessment #GA to go beyond a disease-based approach toward individualizing care. @myCARG @SIOGorg
