L1 - Life Course Research and Healthy Ageing

Carla Lopes

Coordinator:

Integrated Member (PhD)
The research developed in this thematic line intends to help build a society that guarantees a healthy life, from birth to old age.

The research developed intends to serve the purpose of guiding Public Health interventions that improve populational well-being, integrating the perspectives of policy makers, clinicians and citizens, to define the most relevant research topics for populations.

With a particular focus on prospective cohort studies, innovative quantitative approaches are developed in order to model growth, development, and ageing from biological, behavioural and social perspectives, and thus to identify sensitive periods and specific aims for targeted policy interventions.
