Project

Health of Aging Adults

Conducted by Anna Oksuzyan; Maciej Danko, Jennifer Caputo; in Collaboration with Angela Carollo, Jutta Gampe (both: MPIDR), Jo Mhairi Hale (University of St Andrews, United Kingdom), Karen Andersen-Ranberg (University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark), Karin Modig (Karolinska Institutet, Institute of Environmental Medicine, Stockholm, Sweden), Jonas Wastesson (Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden)

This project described health transitions across home and care facilities and how these transitions differ across sociodemographic groups. It also contributed methodologically to research on specific health phenotypes among the oldest-old, which may not be accurately measured through surveys. Detailed Description

Research Keywords:

Aging, Mortality and Longevity, Data and Surveys, Health Care, Public Health, Medicine, and Epidemiology, Intergenerational Relationships
