a Workshop

Friday, 03/07/2025 to 03/07/2025.

The Workshop on Determinants of Adult Mortality, Morbidity, and Healthy Aging in LMICs is co-sponsored by the NIA-supported UC Berkeley Center on the Economics and Demography of Aging-CEDA (William Dow) and the USC/UCLA Center on Biodemography and Population Health-CBPH (Eileen Crimmins, Teresa Seeman, Jennifer Ailshire and Steve Cole)

This is the 8th annual workshop designed to share leading research methods and findings on comparative patterns and determinants of adult mortality, morbidity, and healthy aging in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). We welcome both LMIC-specific studies as well as comparisons with high-income countries.

The goal is to build a robust evidence base for understanding the drivers of cross-national adult health patterns, especially in populations with unusually high or low adult mortality. The expanded availability of longitudinal HRS-type surveys in LMICs makes this an opportune time to gather a network of researchers using such data to study adult health patterns and determinants, in order to share innovative methods, new results, and ideas for the most promising research agenda going forward.

We invite one-page abstracts of papers to be considered for presentation. Please submit by November 1, 2024 to [email protected].
