This project studies physical and cognitive functioning from life course perspective and aims to find out what are the roles of psychosocial and biological factors in terms of physical and cognitive decline.<\/p>\n
The project uses data sets from Finland (Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Aging and Dementia, CAIDE) and Sweden (Swedish Adoption\/Twin Study on Aging, SATSA) with up to 40 years of follow-up, spanning from middle-age to the oldest old age group and including information also from childhood.<\/p>\n
The research will be performed at the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences and Gerontology Research Center in collaboration with the University of Eastern Finland and Karolinska Institutet, Sweden.<\/p>\n
The findings of the study help in generating focused interventions for promoting good cognitive and physical abilities, and to further plan individualized health care.<\/p>\n
