Thank you for visiting our homepage. Our main research is prevention of frailty, geriatric syndrome and aged-related health problems using epidemiology. We have clarified new estimation factors concerning falling and frailty.

Our future direction is to enhance overall knowledge and verify the effect of nursing intervention on aged people's quality of life and health by conducting a feasibility study . Also we believe interprofessional collaboration has an important role in health care treatment and the care of aged people. Hence, we will conduct our research with the support of critical nurses and other medical professionals.
