Det var ett tag sedan, mitt x-ande har legat lågt.. men vill tipsa UR och SVts program Forskarna där jag och @HaggSara är med i ett av avsnitten. En rad intressanta teman varav vårt handlar om livslängd och åldrande. svtplay.se/video/89dzBpz/for…

New study from us exploring the long-term care trajectories among older men and women with stroke in the Swedish population. While stroke increases both mortality and long-term care utilization a considerable part of care is concentrated among those with preexisting care needs ↓

Denna vecka har vi ett intressant avsnitt av Tyngre Träningssnack när @karin_modig gästar mig och Wille. Tillsammans med en dåligt representativ bild av hur det vanligen är att bli riktigt gammal.
Vad skiljer de som blir hundra år från oss andra

First paper out in our project exploring determinants for exceptional longevity. Don’t forget to also check supplementary file which contains lots of interesting figures. Long, hard but exciting work with my colleagues @murata_shunsuke @MaEbeling and AM . link.springer.com/article/10…
Sweden’s centenarian population is highly dependent on formal care. Only 15% live at home without formal home care. In this descriptive paper we present sociodemographic conditions and prevalence of some common diseases. @murata_shunsuke @MaEbeling

After a long recruitment process and many strong candidates we finally have Yuge Zhang with us in the group as a PhD student. Yuge’s project has the title “Determinants of and pathways to an exceptionally long life”

Jag älskar att läsa understreckarna @Under_strecket i SvD, idag om befolkningen av min professor och mentor @andersahlbom1 och häromdagen om livsmedelsproduktion och befolkning i Afrika av en annan klok kollega. Allmänbildande och trevliga essäer. svd.se/a/l3ePxy/det-tar-mang…
Holidays are close! One must try to brighten up the evening work required to clear the desk before the holidays.
