This research theme focuses on studies of sociocultural, economic, and environmental circumstances impacting the well-being of older individuals around the world, and analyses of physical, mental and cognitive aging trajectories in diverse and understudied populations across a wide spectrum of socioeconomic development. This Chat will highlight PARC’s international networks and connections, feature some of PARC’s signature global aging projects and collaborators, encourage discussions how aging and aging-trajectories in low- and middle income differ from the more frequently studied patterns in high-income contexts, and explore how PARC can leverage its global connections to make distinctive contributions to the field of global aging research.
