Anne Martin-Matthews, Ph.D.

Abstract:
This presentation will place the aging of Canada's population in international context. It will consider implications of population aging for health services and systems (especially in relation to cognitive impairment, mobility in aging, and home care); and it will address the research opportunities of more longitudinal lenses and emerging scientific perspectives.
