A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dr. Scott StrathDirector, Center for Aging & Translational ResearchUniversity of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

The next few decades will be a defining era for America as the number of adults over 65 and older will double to approximately 90 million. This unprecedented growth will test and strain health care providers and services, and mandates advancement and innovation in products and services to meet these rising demands. Research and education are more necessary than ever to drive innovation and intervention, and prepare a workforce for the demands of future years.

The CATR has sought to mobilize UWM and the community to partner and foster collaborations to promote research discovery. In this biennial report you will see growth in center scientist membership, and growth in the number of schools, colleges and disciplines involved. Engagement is critical to buildresearch teams to answer tomorrow’s demands, and it is exciting to see growth in aging associated research in this way. Similarly, the CATR education initiatives are also aligning to prepare a future workforce to meet demands of older adults. This has seen steady growth in the Center’s certificate programs, and enhancement of outreach and continuing education opportunities. This biennial report highlights some excellent direction for education, its growth, and provides a strong foundation from which to build.

By design the CATR is interdisciplinary and successful interdisciplinary research and education takes continual effort, trust and commitment. Remain committed and engaged, together we can meet the demands of tomorrow.

CATR ANNOUNCEMENTS

FAREWELL LYDIA!Lydia, a long serving member to the UWM community, was with the Center since it was conceptualized and was instrumental to its origins and development over the years. Lydia’s dedication to help others, always going above and beyond will be sorely missed. Lydia is starting a new chapter of her life, moving east, with a wonderful opportunity to spend time with the new additions to her growing family. We will miss Lydia dearly, and wish her health, happiness and a relaxing future in retirement.

Message from Lydia: “I bid a fond farewell to my UWM colleagues in so many different offices, over so many different time spans, especially those with whom I’ve worked most recently and so closely with CATR or on CATR’s behalf. I will miss you all and truly hope to stay in touch. I can’t help but think of one of my favorite quotes, “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” -A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh).”

EDUCATION HIGHLIGHTS

Emily Fatla is one of the most recent UWM Undergraduate Healthy Aging Certificate graduates. She exemplifies what it means to make the most of an undergraduate experience. In May 2019, Emily earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutritional Studies, Minor in Business, Certificate in Healthy Aging, Certificate in Food Studies, and Certificate in Complementary and Integrative Health. Emily chose to add on the Healthy Aging Certificate because she felt that “aging is a population that we will all be a part of eventually.” She was able to fulfill requirements for both her degree program and Healthy Aging Certificate simultaneously by carefully selecting courses that double counted for both programs. One example was her internship at Saint Anne’s Salvatorian. During her internship she had the opportunity to apply the knowledge she gained from her degree program to a population that is of special interest to her, older adults. While at Saint Anne’s she worked with Dietician Kristi Klemencic. Emily created a pamphlet for the residents, analyzed the sites menu, and suggested additions in order to offer higher-quality nutrition. She also had the opportunity to be part of the Saint Anne’s Resident Council Food Meeting where she presented information about the importance of nutrition and aging.

Congratulations to Emily on all her accomplishments!

UWM Center for Aging offers both the Undergraduate Healthy Aging Certificate and Graduate Certificate in Applied Gerontology. For more information, please visit: https://uwm.edu/catr/academics/

CATR STAFF SPOTLIGHT: SAIRA TALWAR RESEARCH UPDATES

After I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Gender and Women’s studies from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, I knew I wanted a career in healthcare. Logically, I jumped head-on into the adrenaline of the field, straight into the Emergency Room, where I worked as a Medical Scribe. Day and night, patient after patient, two of the many things that became remarkably evident to me was the importance of preventative health and proper education, specifically for the older adult population. Often, I thought, ‘so many of these chief complaints could have been resolved if they just – ’

That thought took me to Mississippi State University where I obtained my Master’s in Exercise Physiology. There, I was afforded a teaching assistantship and completed my thesis research study, entitled Effects of Tai Chi Exercise on Fine and Gross Motor Function in Older Adults. Working with older adults during this study made me value the great impact social interactions, education, and activity had on not only their physical well-being, but also their mental and emotional health. This theme has since been reiterated to me through my work at the Center of Aging and Translational Research, and the opportunities afforded to me since, such as conveying older adult research to healthcare professionals that work with the same goal as myself: to empower and educate older adults in their own well-being. As I embark upon my second year as a PhD student in the Kinesiology Department at UWM, I plan to combine my learned passion for teaching undergraduate students and my commitment to working with older adults by encouraging the importance of serving this population, with the ultimate goal to work collaboratively with others to promote successful aging in our communities.

Dr. Strath awarded one of UWM’s largest research grantsCATR’s director, Dr. Scott Strath, was awarded one of UWM’s largest research grants in 2018! He was awarded $2.9 million over five years for his study.

The ability to accurately measure physical activity in people with movement limitations is essential to understand the effect of physical activity on health, and also to evaluate the effectiveness of different therapies designed to improve physical function. Currently there are no methods that provide an accurate measure of this. Study participants will wear state-of-the-art movement and photography sensors as they go about their daily routines. These measures, in conjunction with measured energy expenditure, will allow the research team to develop precise algorithms to predict different physical activity behaviors.

Dr. Melinda Kavanaugh awarded 2-year R21 NIH awardCATR Scientist Dr. Melinda Kavanaugh has been awarded a two-year R21 NIH award, through the National Institute on Aging. The project seeks to identify informal caregiver (youth and adult), and formal care providers perceptions of early warning signs and crisis points in African American and Latino elders with Alzheimer’s disease. It is a community collaborative project with the United Community Center, Alzheimer’s Association and the Milwaukee County Department on Aging.
