Lines of research

The “Aging and Health” study can be divided into different lines of research. Each of them focuses on a group of protective or risk factors for physical and mental health:


• Socioeconomic factors
• Objective and subjective aspects of social networks
• Subjective well-being and life events
• Nutrition and physical activity
• Built environment and environmental factors
• Addictions and other risk behaviors
• Mortality, trajectories and comorbidity patterns
