Disability and Aging Research

Disability and Aging Research studies how aging affects people's ability to function and how disabilities develop or change over time. The goal is to improve health, independence, and quality of life for older adults and those with disabilities. This research explores factors like health conditions, social support, and environmental influences, aiming to find better treatments, interventions, and policies. By understanding these processes, researchers can help create more effective ways to prevent or manage disabilities associated with aging, ensuring people can live healthier, more active lives as they grow older.
