Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Miles Witham on metformin to improve physical performance
Q: Do you think there is still a role for metformin based on the trial results?
Based on the results, metformin does not appear to be a helpful treatment for older adults with sarcopenia or frailty, although a slightly fitter population might still benefit from its use.
Miles Witham on metformin to improve physical performance
Q: What were the overall results from the trial? Did metformin improve physical performance?
No, metformin did not improve physical performance in the trial; outcomes like walk speed, muscle mass, and quality of life showed no significant changes.
Harish Nair and Durga Kulkarni on the human metapneumovirus burden in older adults globally
Q: What were the aims of your systematic review and meta-analysis, and which types of studies did you include in the analysis?
We aimed to estimate the impact of acute respiratory infections with HMPV in adults aged 60 and over, using observational and intervention studies worldwide.
Harish Nair and Durga Kulkarni on the human metapneumovirus burden in older adults globally
Q: Could you please first describe what HMPV is, the associated symptoms, and also which groups are most susceptible to infection?
HMPV is related to RSV and can present similar symptoms, particularly affecting very young children and older adults.
Lara Pivodic on social connections at the end of life
Q: Looking ahead, are there other key areas in terms of research that should be explored?
Pivodic states there's a need for better definitions of social connections in research, and for studies that can examine diverse end-of-life experiences across different populations.
