About
Dr. Margo Twohig is a leading researcher in gerontology and public health, specializing in social frailty, aging-in-place, and the social determinants of health among older adults. Her work critically examines how social isolation and vulnerability—distinct from physical frailty—affect well-being, functional decline, and mortality. Her most-cited paper, a systematic scoping review published in 2024, synthesizes evidence on interventions for older adults living with social frailty, highlighting a critical gap in effective, tailored strategies. This work has already garnered 23 citations, underscoring its timely relevance. Dr. Twohig’s contributions advance understanding of how social determinants operate across aging populations, informing policy and practice to support community-dwelling seniors. Her research is notable for bridging clinical and social frameworks, advocating for holistic approaches that address loneliness, access to care, and environmental factors. Through rigorous synthesis and advocacy, she is shaping a more equitable, evidence-based future for aging support systems.
