Ageing Research Group
The Ageing Research Group is dedicated to advancing research in the field of ageing with a multidisciplinary approach.
Overview
We aim to contribute significantly to the understanding of ageing-related processes and their implications on health, longevity, and well-being. A major component of our work involves the collection and analysis of data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). Our mission is to conduct cutting-edge research, collaborate with leading institutions, and leverage existing datasets to generate insights into the ageing process and its associated factors. We strive to translate research findings into actionable strategies for promoting a better later life.
