The Asian Conference for Frailty and Sarcopenia (ACFS), inaugurated in Taipei in 2015, constitutes a premier scientific forum dedicated to advancing research, clinical methodologies, and interventional strategies addressing frailty and sarcopenia in Asian populations. This multidisciplinary platform facilitates knowledge exchange among healthcare practitioners, investigators, policy administrators, and industry representatives.
Core Components of ACFS include
01
Scientific Dissemination
The conference features peer-reviewed research presentations encompassing epidemiological studies, clinical trials, and therapeutic innovations in frailty and sarcopenia. The scientific program comprises plenary sessions, specialized symposia, oral communications, and poster presentations, with emphasis on nutrition science, exercise physiology, rehabilitation protocols, and chronic disease management.
02
Clinical Methodology
Specialized workshops provide instruction in standardized diagnostic techniques, validated assessment instruments, and evidence-based interventional protocols optimized for clinical and community implementation.
03
Regional Collaboration
ACFS addresses region-specific challenges through coordinated initiatives that consider Asia’s heterogeneous demographics, healthcare infrastructure, and sociocultural determinants of health, fostering development of contextually appropriate clinical guidelines.
04
Interdisciplinary Integration
The conference amalgamates expertise from multiple specialties including geriatrics, internal medicine, family practice, home care, rehabilitation medicine, clinical nutrition, nursing sciences, and public health epidemiology to facilitate comprehensive management approaches.
05
Health Policy Development
ACFS emphasizes evidence-based health policy formulation and resource allocation optimization to address the increasing prevalence of frailty and sarcopenia in aging populations.
