PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – Physical Measures Core (PMC) An important consideration for investigators undertaking studies relevant to our theme “To Understand and Optimize Reserve and Resilience” is how to select and implement the most appropriate and meaningful measures. A Physical Measures Core will provide this service by serving as the central resource for Center investigators seeking advice, training, laboratory access, and equipment for valid, sensitive, and reliable measures. A panel of 13 members, with complementary expertise in measurement across multiple domains, comprises the Core. The Physical Measures Core will provide highly integrated, customized support to investigators supported by our Research Education Component, Pilot/Exploratory Studies Core, Externally Funded Projects, and the larger Duke Community engaged by the Duke Older Americans Independence Center. The Core will support investigators by meeting regularly throughout the full spectrum of project development, from early phase planning, to final interpretation of findings, to subsequent grant preparations to dissemination and/or implementation. These meetings will concurrently involve members of the Analysis and Molecular Measures Cores to assure maximal synergy. We propose three Specific Aims. Aim 1 - To provide centralized expertise available for consultation on the measurement of reserve and resilience. Aim 2 - To develop measurement protocols and train personnel in administration and data collection. Aim 3 - To identify gaps in resiliency measures and develop or adapt innovative new measurement approaches across the adult lifespan for related outcomes. Projects for five REC Scholars and two PES awardees will be supported during the first two years of funding. Members of the PMC will also provide service to five EPs, and propose an innovative “Emerging Discovery Project” to develop two new tools to measure muscle reserve and function using electrical impedance myography and quantitative muscle ultrasound. Two workshops are proposed, one to provide training in physical performance and functional testing, and one to provide training in ambulatory measurement and data collection, to augment the measurement capabilities of our trainees; if successful these workshops can be disseminated to other OAICs. The PMC will provide an invaluable service to our Center, which will lead to greater understanding of reserve and resilience, and which in turn, will point to opportunities to improve the current and future health and well-being of aging Americans across the lifespan.

项目总结/摘要-物理测量核心（PMC） 研究人员进行与我们的主题“了解和 优化储备和弹性”是如何选择和实施最合适的和有意义的 措施物理测量核心将通过充当中心的中心资源来提供此服务 调查人员寻求建议，培训，实验室访问和设备，以有效，敏感和可靠 措施一个由13名成员组成的小组，在多个领域的测量方面具有互补的专业知识， 包括核心。物理测量核心将提供高度集成的定制支持， 研究人员由我们的研究教育部分，试点/探索性研究核心，外部支持 资助项目，以及由杜克老年美国人独立组织参与的更大的杜克社区 中心核心将通过在整个项目过程中定期举行会议来支持调查人员 发展，从早期阶段的规划，到最终解释的结果，随后的赠款准备， 传播和/或执行。这些会议将同时涉及分析小组成员， 分子测量核心，以确保最大的协同作用。我们提出三个具体目标。目标1 -提供 提供集中的专门知识，就储备和复原力的衡量进行协商。目标2 -目标 制定测量协议，并培训管理和数据收集人员。目标3 -确定 在弹性措施的差距，并制定或调整创新的新的测量方法，在整个成人 相关结果的寿命。五名REC学者和两名PES获奖者的项目将在 前两年的融资。临市局成员亦会为五名环保人士提供服务，并建议 创新的“新兴发现项目”开发两种新工具来测量肌肉储备和功能 使用电阻抗肌描记术和定量肌肉超声。建议举办两个讲习班，一个 提供体能和功能测试方面的培训，一个提供门诊训练， 测量和数据收集，以增强我们的学员的测量能力;如果成功， 讲习班可以传播到其他非政府组织国际中心。PMC将为我们的中心提供宝贵的服务， 这将使人们更好地理解储备和恢复力，反过来，这将指向机会 改善美国老年人当前和未来的健康和福祉。
