Vitality 90+ <\/span><\/b><\/p>

The Vitality 90+ Study (in Finnish: Tervaskannot 90+) is a multidisciplinary project focusing on longevity and the oldest-old.\u00a0 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<\/p>

  • Health and functioning in the oldest-old and their time trends<\/li>
  • Formal and informal care, services<\/li>
  • Very old age as a stage of life; subjective experiences of long life<\/li>
  • Biology of longevity, especially aging of the immune system<\/li>

    Data include<\/p>

  • Mailed surveys with whole cohorts of people aged 90+ in Tampere <\/li>
  • Face-to-face interviews and performance tests<\/li>
  • Blood samples<\/li>
