Research activities
Our research focuses on healthy ageing and the preservation of functioning, mobility, and quality of life across the life course. We combine methods of clinical epidemiology, health services research, causal inference, and patient-centred outcome assessment to investigate vertigo, dizziness, balance disorders, multimorbidity, frailty, medication risks, and age-related health limitations. Using population-based cohorts, patient registries, routine health data, and mixed-methods approaches, we generate evidence to support better diagnostics, targeted interventions, and more responsive care
