About the department

Department of Preventive Gerontology

The Department of Preventive Gerontology scientifically investigates whether lifestyles such as exercise, diets, intellectual activities, and social activities are effective in preventing dementia and frailty. We also promote digital healthcare for the promotion of the health of older adults by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and IoT devices.

Research Focus

1. We advance a large-scale cohort study (National Center for Geriatric and Gerontology-Study of Geriatric Syndromes: NCGG-SGS) and analyze the data to understand the risk of geriatric syndromes that occur with aging and to identify effective ways to treat them. 
2. We conduct randomized controlled trials to verify the effects of prevention and improvement methods for diseases and geriatric syndromes accompanied with aging.
