Healthspan, dementia and frailty: what does it mean to be healthy in older age?

Description 
This is part of a program of research into health aging and understanding how we can prolong healthspan (life years lived in good health), and reduce the burden of conditions like dementia and frailty. This project will leverage extensive longitudinal data collected over 10+ years on a large population of community dwelling individuals aged predominantly over 70 years at recruitment (ASPREE and ASPREE-XT study).
