This session will present the latest peer-reviewed geriatrics research with questions and answers to follow. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the distinct frailty subgroups and bioenergetic changes that cell-free DNA can identify; (2) review the results of a feasibility pilot of a multicomponent frailty intervention in the post-acute SNF setting; (3) describe the relationship between county-level contextual disadvantage and the development of geriatric conditions in older persons; (4) review the results of a CHW-led intervention to reduce acute healthcare utilization in frail older adults compared to usual care.
