Research title: Implementing novel dietary and exercise interventions for a better ageing in older adults with multimorbidity
Research Summary
My research focuses on examining the health impacts of multimorbidity, frailty, and sarcopenia, particularly in relation to cardiovascular and metabolic health. Currently, for my PhD, I am studying how healthy dietary fats and physical activity, especially resistance training, influence muscle function and overall health in middle-aged and elderly individuals with multiple health conditions.
