Great to this major study on addressing frailty published today - once a week exercise improved physical function and reduced hospital costs, making the intervention COST-SAVING within a two-year timeframe!! @UKSBM_Fellow @ISBNPA
The REACT study is published today @TheLancetPH. Tailored group exercise has long-term positive impact on mobility of people 65 and older and it is cost-effective. Decline in mobility in later life can be prevented.

REACT shows us a decline in physical function in our later years can not just be slowed but can be reversed
After the publication of the REACT study in @TheLancetPH Professor @AfroditiStathi @unibirmingham explains the purpose of the programme and its impressive results

Great results from the landmark REACT study. Thanks to all our colleagues @UniofBath
A decline in mobility in later life can lead to loss of independence & generate substantial health & social care costs.
See how a landmark programme for people aged 65+ with mobility limitations has shown long-term positive impacts & cost effectiveness.

Our sleep patterns change as we get older. We sleep lighter and less, we wake more often in the night, and we're more sensitive to noise.
