Biological aging trends among Finns in the 21st century and the effects of health intervention (BioAgeFin)

The project examines how populations age today: whether it is similar to ageing a few decades ago. The study investigates the causes and consequences of this phenomenon, as well as the ways in which ageing can be influenced.
