About us | Cochrane Global Ageing

We recently became the Cochrane Global Ageing Thematic Group.

The Cochrane Global Ageing Thematic Group is committed to propelling research and enhancing practices to support healthy ageing and longevity worldwide. As we progress through the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030), our mission is to address the multifaceted challenges of global ageing and contribute to better outcomes for people everywhere.

At the heart of our mission is the drive to facilitate the development and maintenance of functional abilities that can ensure wellbeing in older age. Our group will serve as a dynamic hub for sharing and exchanging expert knowledge, aligning with global efforts to meet the Sustainable Development Goals in this area and mitigate the impacts of the global burden of ill health among older people. Our group also acknowledges that ageing is a lifelong process, so we take a life course approach to our activities.
