Inclusivity
Involving underrepresented populations in ageing research is important to ensure that the benefits of health span extension are equitably distributed.
Understanding how ageing and health resilience manifest in diverse groups, including those historically under-represented in research, will enable the development of more inclusive public health strategies and interventions that address the needs of all individuals as they age.
We are committed to regular community and public engagement, and imbed practices to increase research inclusivity within the programme.
Long-term follow up
Involving participants between the ages of 12 and 15 years will enable our programme to capture early determinants of healthy ageing by following participants from adolescence to adulthood.
Following individuals from their teenage years will enhance the cohort’s representativeness, support trans-generational analyses, and provide unique insights into how contemporary influences shape lifelong health and wellbeing.
We encourage collaboration with the world scientific community to advance research and generate new ideas.
