About
Yves Rolland is a leading geriatrician whose research focuses on frailty, sarcopenia, and integrated care for older adults. His most impactful work centers on operationalizing the World Health Organization’s Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework, particularly through the landmark “INSPIRE ICOPE-CARE Program” implemented in France’s Occitania region (105 citations). This initiative demonstrated how to translate global policy into scalable, community-based screening and care pathways for functional decline. Rolland’s broader contributions include pioneering studies on the pathophysiology of sarcopenia, establishing diagnostic thresholds for muscle loss, and evaluating interventions like exercise and nutrition to prevent disability. His work has garnered over 20,000 citations, reflecting its influence on clinical guidelines worldwide. Notably, he has served as a key advisor to the WHO on aging-related policies and leads the Gérontopôle of Toulouse, a center of excellence for frailty research. For students and researchers, Rolland’s career exemplifies how rigorous clinical science can directly shape public health strategies to support healthy aging.
