Aging, Care & Health

This research focuses broadly on aging, care, and health among Chinese and Asian American older adults and examines the social and economic determinants of health and other outcomes of older adults.

This research incorporates theories and methodologies across gerontology, economics, epidemiology, psychology, and sociology to examine the social and economic determinants of health and other outcomes of older adults. Current projects explore the effects of catastrophic medical expenditure, cash transfer programs, living arrangements, social engagement, family caregiving, and late-life employment on older adults’ physical and mental health. 

Center members working on this project: Qin Gao, Nan Jiang, Jinyu Liu, Xiaofang Liu, Ada C. Mui, and Yalu Zhang.
