Harmonizing health outcomes and determinants across longitudinal studies on aging
Description: With the rapid demographic and epidemiological transition occurring globally, including in low and middle income countries, there is an urgent need to generate data with regard to the dynamics of health, quality of life and well-being in the older adult segment of the population that is comparable across populations and over time. Insights obtained from such studies will help shape current and future health and social policy. Important strategies to prevent the burden of ill-health and disability in older age groups, as well as to extend health care for chronic diseases, can be identified to promote well-being and improve quality of life.
