Ageing with disease
Integrated research to improve care for older patients. This research applies a Geroscience approach to use knowledge on aging and disease to develop and implement effective and cost-effective care for older people. This approach includes the use of insights in the etiology of ageing in the origin and course of disease (sub-theme 3), discriminating at risk older patients using novel biomarkers and algorithms in terms of resilience and vulnerability and progression into multi-morbidity (sub-theme 4), and implementation of effective and cost-effective disease treatments and interventions to improve functional outcomes.
