Health inequalities among the older population have important implications for a range
of policy issues as our population continues to age. This multidisciplinary research
will use unique data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing to examine the
inter-relationships between the economic, social, psychosocial, and health
circumstances of older people. The aim is to provide a clear understanding of the
extent of health inequalities among the older population, the determinants of these,
and their implications for social participation and productivity.
IFS researchers are collaborating on this project with James Nazroo, Michael Marmot and Anne McMunn from the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London. Search |
