Focus: In epidemiology of ageing, we focus on describing, explaining and predicting health-related changes in the older adult population. Our research is based on population-representative, repeated, and comprehensive measurements of older adults’ health (e.g. frailty index, physical functioning, intrinsic capacity, disability) and the statistical analysis of this observational data. The results of our research are regularly published in scientific journals covering the disciplines of gerontology, geriatrics, and epidemiology.
