The research group

The research group is based at Aging Research Center (ARC), a multidisciplinary research center formed as a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University. 

The group consists of social scientists and public health researchers who together study a wide range of scientific questions, such as health and health development, care and social services, social relations, lifestyles, and dimensions of inequality across different groups.  

The research group is also responsible for leading the fieldwork for The Swedish Panel Study of Living Conditions of the Oldest Old (SWEOLD) and for providing other researchers with information about the characteristics and potential of the SWEOLD data.
