In this episode, Glenn Wylie, DPhil, director of the Rocco Ortenzio Neuroimaging Center at Kessler Foundation talks about his peer-reviewed article, “Fatigue across the lifespan in men and women: State vs Trait,” published on May 9, 2022, in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.  

Dr. Wylie explained his findings, which included while older adults reported themselves to have the same fatigue “burden” (trait fatigue) as younger adults, they nevertheless reported experiencing less fatigue while they were performing a task (state fatigue).
