Ageing and Health

Summary

The project aims to investigate changes in the onset of home care and long-term care use across cohorts and whether they differ across socio-demographic groups. It also contributes methodologically to research on specific health phenotypes among the oldest-old, which may not be otherwise accurately measured in surveys.
