The GROICAP group is a multidisciplinary group, integrated by professionals from medicine (Family Medicine, Rehabilitation), nursing and physiotherapy. Focused on the ELDERLY PEOPLE and musculoskeletal clinical-epidemiological research, aging and frailty in PC, especially in prevention of falls and fragility fractures. The group has carried out calibration and validation projects of the FRAX tool in Spain (FRIDEX, FROCAT, EPIFROS cohorts). It maintains stable collaborations with national groups such as the consolidated SAFE group (Health, Physical Activity and Sport) and international groups such as the pioneer group of FRAX (WHO) of the University of Sheffield (UK). GROICAP has led the ISCIII funded PRECIOSA project in the dissemination and publication of results on the prevention of falls and fractures in >75 years old community residents. The group has requested private funding (already committed) for partial research support and to transfer the knowledge generated to older people in the general population.
