Understanding the multifaceted ageing process is critical for the development of equitable and sustainable systems that foster ageing well across both care and geographical settings. This requires an interdisciplinary approach that spans biology, neuroscience and psychology, public and global health, ethics, law, sociology and policy to unpack the complex interplay of individual and collective determinants that affect health and wellbeing as people age.
Hosted by Hughes Hall, this Cambridge Public Health theme will take an interdisciplinary and life course perspective to address the challenges and harness the opportunities an ageing world brings forth.
The Life-course and Ageing Theme is led by Dr Louise Lafortune.
