Whitehall II

By combining over 35 years of data on social inequalities and chronic disease with new clinical measures of cognitive function, mental disorders and physical functioning, the Whitehall II study has become a world-class, interdisciplinary study of ageing.

After celebrating our 40th anniversary in May 2025, research on the Whitehall II cohort is ongoing. You can access our latest publications here and explore the study using the menu on the left.
