이 교수의 연구실은 노화와 관련된 신체적 기능 저하인 프레일리티(frailty)와 인지 기능 저하가 병행되는 '인지 프레일리티'의 개념을 중심으로 연구를 진행하고 있습니다. 특히 임상적 적용이 어려운 CDR 기반 평가 대신 실용적이고 정확한 정의 기반의 인지 프레일리티 선별 기준을 제안하며, 노인 건강의 장기적 추적 연구를 통해 위험 요인과 예방 전략을 규명하고자 합니다. 다기관 종단적 연구를 기반으로 한 정책적·임상적 응용가능성을 고려한 연구가 특징입니다.

A research project, the "Construction of Frailty Cohort for Elderly and Intervention Study," funded by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, has been ongoing since December 2015. The Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS) aims to identify risk factors for adverse outcomes associated with frailty in community-dwelling older adults, as well as means of prevention. KFACS is a multicenter, longitudinal study, with the baseline survey being conducted in 2016-2017. The sample (n=3,000) consists o
The concept of cognitive frailty has recently been proposed by an International Consensus Group as the presence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment [defined using the Clinical Dementia Ratings (CDR)=0.5], without concurrent dementia. However, CDR is difficult to implement and not often available in epidemiologic studies or busy clinical settings, and an alternative to CDR is required. We suggest an alternative definition of cognitive frailty as: 1) physical frailty, 2) more than 1.5 sta
