Australia’s obese older population is growing, and a large number of fractures now occur in obese older adults. This research program aims to reduce falls and fracture risk in obese older adults through innovative exercise programs which target improvements in bone and muscle health, and a wearable device that enables measurement of this type of exercise. The findings will contribute to exercise guidelines which are urgently needed to reduce the costly impact of falls and fracture in Australia.

澳大利亚的肥胖老年人口正在增长，大量的骨折现在发生在肥胖的老年人中。这项研究计划旨在通过创新的运动计划来减少肥胖老年人的福尔斯和骨折风险，这些计划旨在改善骨骼和肌肉健康，以及能够测量这种类型运动的可穿戴设备。研究结果将有助于制定运动指南，这是迫切需要的，以减少澳大利亚福尔斯和骨折的昂贵影响。
