Introduction

International Conference on Frailty Research 2011 will be held in Taipei from November 25 to 27, 2011. This conference will focus on issues of frailty affecting seniors, as we work to build on the solid foundations laid by the excellent work of many gerontologists and geriatricians, to advance the clinical study of frailty.

The objective of this conference is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary discussion about the definition, scope, and concomitant issues relating to frailty. The APLCGG and TAGG will work closely with EUGMS, IAGG and IAGG – European Region to host this global event.
