Among their recent papers are the following:

  • Sarcopenia definition, diagnosis and treatment: consensus is growing (2022, Age and Ageing)
  • Sarcopenia (2024, Nature Reviews Disease Primers)

Frequently collaborating with other researchers, their most frequent co-authors include:

  • Miles D. Witham
  • Antoneta Granic
  • Richard Dodds
  • Siân Robinson
  • Christopher Hurst

Avan Aihie Sayer has published extensively in several key journals. Their most frequent publication venues are:

  • Age and Ageing
  • European Geriatric Medicine
  • Journal of Frailty Sarcopenia and Falls
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • BMC Geriatrics

Their research has contributed to advancing understanding in areas related to aging, muscle physiology, and frailty through a multidisciplinary approach grounded in clinical and epidemiological methods. Recent work includes a focus on the consensus around sarcopenia's definition and treatment, as well as aspects of nutrition and physical exercise in older populations.
