Our vision is to lead on discoveries into life course determinants of physical and mental function in older age, as well as ways to maintain of independence in older age.
Research
We will combine our rich biological, social and psychological data from across the life course, with molecular, genetic and imaging measures to help us achieve our vision. Our aim is to inform the development of interventions to enhance resilience, maintain function and increase in health span.

Research Themes
Our key research themes are:
Collaboration
The LHA promotes collaboration with researchers within the UK and abroad. Collaborations with external scientists are vital for maximising the scientific potential of the cohorts.
If you would like to get involved, please contant the lead researcher for the theme of interest.
