About the department

Department of Epidemiology of Aging

The Department of Epidemiology of Aging conducts epidemiological research to promote the mental and physical independence of older adults.

We conduct National Institute for Longevity Sciences - Longitudinal Study of Aging (NILS-LSA).
Using data from NILS-LSA, we collaborate with domestic and international research institutes to conduct multi-center collaborative research that contributes to the prevention of aging and geriatric diseases.
