Objectives<\/h3>\n

The AC10 group\u2014”Healthy Aging, Frailty, and Chronic Disease: Primary Care Research”\u2014conducts clinical, epidemiological, and public health research aimed at disease prevention, health promotion, and the improvement of healthcare, with a particular focus on Primary Care and issues of significant population-level importance.<\/p>\n

Its objective is to generate knowledge applicable to clinical practice and public health by studying health determinants, as well as the knowledge, attitudes, practices, and behaviors of healthcare professionals and the general public; this is achieved through the design and evaluation of preventive, educational, and organizational interventions in settings that closely mirror actual clinical practice.<\/p>\n

It is a multidisciplinary, applied research group that fosters collaboration among professionals in Primary Care, Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Nursing, and other healthcare fields, thereby facilitating the translation of research findings into clinical practice and health prevention and promotion programs.<\/p>\n

Lines of research<\/h3>\n

1. Healthy aging, frailty, and chronic conditions. Prevention of functional decline and promotion of healthy aging. Topics include frailty, fall prevention, physical activity, multicomponent exercise, healthy lifestyles, and the management of chronic conditions within primary care.
2. Prevention, vaccines, and public health. Research on vaccination coverage; knowledge, attitudes, and practices among professionals and the general public; barriers to and facilitators of vaccination; and the design and evaluation of interventions aimed at improving prevention and vaccination across the lifespan. This research line currently includes project PI25\/01419, “Multicomponent intervention to promote vaccination in the population: a real-world cluster-randomized trial,” funded by the Carlos III Health Institute.
3. Nutrition, nutritional knowledge, and health-related behaviors. Study of knowledge regarding nutrition and food composition, dietary habits, lifestyles, and health-related behaviors, with a particular focus on the general population, students, and future healthcare professionals. Development and validation of measurement tools, as well as the identification of training needs and intervention opportunities.
4. Rational use of antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance. Research on knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antimicrobial use and factors associated with inappropriate use, alongside the design of strategies to promote the rational use of antibiotics and the prevention and control of antimicrobial resistance.
5. Epidemiology, health promotion, and evaluation of health interventions. Conduct of epidemiological and health services research, evaluation of preventive and educational interventions, and analysis of factors associated with health behaviors and outcomes. Special emphasis is placed on studies conducted in real-world clinical practice settings that have the potential for implementation within the healthcare system.<\/p>\n
