Vitality Capacity - IPTOP Webinar Series

Vitality is a physiological state resulting from the interaction between multiple physiological systems, reflected in energy and metabolism, neuromuscular function, and immune and stress response functions of the body (WHO). As a physiological determinant of physical and mental capacities an individual can draw on at any point in time, early detection of deterioration of vitality allows early interventions to delay the onset of frailty and extend the healthy lifespan of aging persons.

Professor Ivan Bautmans conducts fundamental and translational research focused on the underlying mechanisms, prevention and treatment of muscle weakness (dynapenia) and muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) at higher age, with particular interest for the role of inflammatory processes.
He is leading the WHO Working Group on Vitality Capacity and co-leading the EUGMS SIG on Sarcopenia.
