Themes & Topics — International Conference on Aging, Longevity, and Population Health
The conference welcomes research on how people age, what extends healthy life, and how health is distributed across populations and over the life course. Its community spans gerontology, geriatric medicine, biology, epidemiology, demography, public health, nursing, psychology, sociology, economics and health policy. Studies may focus on cells, individuals, care settings, communities or whole populations, and interdisciplinary, comparative and practice-based research is welcome.
