Oxford Institute of Population Ageing (2017) Older People’s Associations in East and Southeast Asia: A Four Country Study. Research conducted by the University of Oxford (Oxford Institute of Population Ageing) with support from HelpAge International, World Health Organization Regional Office for the Western Pacific and Age International.
The paper outlines the status of research on ageing in India and provides a situational analysis of elderly in terms of economic, social, psychological and health aspects, and elder abuse. The paper also develops issues upon which models of care for the elderly can be framed and argues that factors such as place of residence, social class and gender among others tend to influence such models.
This section highlights peer reviewed research papers which underpin the Positive Ageing approach as outlined in the book. The purpose of this paper is to outline the need to develop a more balanced approach to addressing the various types of loneliness. Read More. Negative attitudes about ageing shorten lives.

Consequently, three main paradigms or research orientations have been distinguished in biological research on ageing (Juengst et al, 2003): 'compressed morbidity', 'decelerated ageing' and 'arrested ageing'. Compressed morbidity refers to the most conventional of these research agendas. Its goal is to forestall all chronic ailments of old age by intervening in the underlying molecular.
Challenges of an ageing population Vastly improved life expectancy, one of the great triumphs of the last century, looks set to be one of great challenges of this one. Between 2015 and 2020, over a period when the general population is expected to rise 3%, the numbers aged over 65 are expected to increase by 12% (1.1 million); the numbers aged over 85 by 18% (300,000); and the number of.
A Healthy Ageing Research Director was appointed in early 2020 to provide strong, authoritative leadership on research for the Challenge as a whole. Developing the pipeline: Early stage support. UKRI will provide financial support to academic researchers and small, medium, enterprises working together to develop new products and services. This is early stage innovation activity and it will.
Ageing research is now the focus of thousands of laboratories that include leaders in the areas of genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behaviour. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) covers the trends in this field. It is designed to fill a large void, namely, a source for critical reviews and viewpoints on emerging findings on mechanisms of ageing and age-related disease.
