The sub-projects address the biological basis of  aging, predictors of health, functioning and longevity, old age as an  individual experience, and the need for and use of care and services.  The research is motivated by the rapid changes in the population  structure and by the increase in real longevity. In Finland, the number  of people aged 90 or older in 2012 is five times higher than 20 years  ago, and by 2060 it will reach a quarter of a million.The Vitality 90+  Study was initiated in 1995 by Professor Antti Hervonen. Its major  research themes include<\/div><ul><li>Health and functioning in the oldest-old and their time trends<\/li><li>Formal and informal care, services<\/li><li>Very old age as a stage of life; subjective experiences of long life<\/li><li>Biology of longevity, especially aging of the immune system<\/li><\/ul><div id=\"parent-fieldname-text-d3dbb791-084b-42d1-8df7-83700a417fa0\"><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Data include<\/p><\/div><ul><li>Mailed surveys with whole cohorts of people aged 90+ in Tampere <\/li><li>Face-to-face interviews and performance tests<\/li><li>Blood samples<\/li><\/ul><div id=\"parent-fieldname-text-d3dbb791-084b-42d1-8df7-83700a417fa0\"><p style=\"text-align: left; \"><b>Research group<\/b><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \"><i>Principal investigators<\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Professor Marja Jylh\u00e4, marja.jylha(at)uta.fi, Faculty of Social Sciences (Health Sciences), University of Tampere<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Emeritus professor Mikko Hurme, mikko.a.hurme(at)uta.fi, <span>Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences,<\/span> University of Tampere<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Emeritus professor Antti Hervonen, antti.hervonen(at)uta.fi, Faculty of Social Sciences (Health Sciences), University of Tampere<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \"><b><i>Seniors, post docs<\/i><\/b><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Juulia Jylh\u00e4v\u00e4, juulia.jylhava(at)uta.fi, Medical School, University of Tampere<i> <span>Genomics and biomarkers of aging<\/span><\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Tapio Kirsi, tapio.kirsi(at)uta.fi, School of Health Sciences, University of Tampere<i> Life-stories of oldest-old and cultural change<\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Kirsi Lumme-Sandt, kirsi.lumme-sandt(at)uta.fi, School of Health Sciences, University of Tampere<i> Life-stories of oldest-old and cultural change<\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Kristina Tiainen, kristina.tiainen(at)uta.fi, School of Health Sciences, University of Tampere<i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gerec.fi\/en\/research\/health-functioning-and-longevity\/functional-performance-among-older-people-and-factors-that-predict-its-changes\"  target=\"_blank\"> Functional performance among older people and factors that predict its changes<\/a><\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \"><b><i>Doctoral students<\/i><\/b><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Linda Enroth, linda.enroth(at)uta.fi, School of Health Sciences, University of Tampere<i> Socioeconomic differences in health functioning and mortality in nonagenarians<\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Inna Lisko, inna.lisko(at)uta.fi, School of Health Sciences, University of Tampere<i> Association of body mass index and waist circumference with functional status and mortality in 90-year-old people<\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Saara Marttila, saara.marttila(at)uta.fi, Medical School, University of Tamperen<i> Genome-wide gene expression in immunosenescence<\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Lily Nosraty, lily.nosraty(at)uta.fi School of Health Sciences, University of Tampere <i>Successful aging in nonagenarians<\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \"><b>Funding<\/b><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Academy of Finland<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Pirkanmaa Hospital District, competetive research funding<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \">Funding from several sources 1995-<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gerec.fi\/en\/research\/health-functioning-and-longevity\/doctoral-thesis-vitality-90\"  target=\"_blank\"><b>Doctoral thesis<\/b><\/a><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; \"><b>Recent publications<\/b><\/p><p>Enroth L, Raitanen J, Hervonen A, Lehtim\u00e4ki T, Jylh\u00e4v\u00e4 J, Hurme M  & Jylh\u00e4 M. 2015.
