IAGG GARN Network

Dear Colleague,

We are happy to update you with the most recent actions setup by the IAGG GARN Network. It highlights IAGG's interest in older people's health and the need to promote research in many geriatric fields. With the assistance of appropriate specialists and with a few tools, research and implementation into clinical practice should be available in all health facilities around the world. We hope that these actions will raise awareness and help you implement them into clinical practice in your country.

Today, it is a pleasure to forward you a copy of the "Frailty" video. This short 40 seconds film was realized in collaboration with the IAGG GARN Network, to promote autonomy of old people. It was funded by the CNSA (Caisse Nationale de Solidarité pour l'Autonomie), a French state organization and is available in eleven versions:

English
French
Italian
Spanish
Portuguese
German
Korean
Chinese1
Chinese2
Japanese
Persian

The film can be disseminated via any type of screen: social networks, websites, local TVs, or during events dedicated to old people. We also invite you to target networks, colleagues, local authorities and all those whose work to prevent dependency of older people.

Do not hesitate to distribute the film around you.

Best regards,

Heung Bong CHA, PhD, IAGG President
