Life-course perspectives on ageing and health
The course provides knowledge about theories and empirical evidence that describes ageing from a public health perspective.
The aim is to provide the student with an overview of the development and distribution of health in the older population. After the course, the student should have basic knowledge of the association between social conditions during the life course, and health and function in old age. Furthermore, the student should have an understanding of the demography of the ageing population, as well as of how health and care vary across different groups of older adults.
