About

Krystle Amog is a researcher dedicated to understanding and addressing the complex social dimensions of aging. Her work centers on social frailty—a condition where older adults experience a loss of social connections and resources, leading to heightened risks of mortality, functional decline, falls, and disability. Amog’s major contribution lies in systematically mapping the landscape of interventions designed to support this vulnerable population. Her most cited paper, “Interventions that have potential to help older adults living with social frailty: a systematic scoping review” (2024, 23 citations), critically examines how social determinants of health operate in this context, revealing a critical gap: few studies have effectively unpacked these determinants or developed strategies that truly respond to the needs of socially frail older adults. By synthesizing existing evidence, Amog provides a foundational roadmap for future research and practice, highlighting the urgent need for targeted, socially-aware interventions. Her work is a vital call to action for gerontologists, public health practitioners, and policymakers seeking to improve the quality of life for aging populations through a more holistic, socially-informed lens.
