Welcome

I am senior researcher at the French demographic institute INED. I am a member of the research unit on "Mortality, health, and epidemiology" and of the research unit on "Economic demography". I am also involved in the "Old Age and Ageing" research group. Since january 2018, I am the director of the Institute of Longevity, Elderhood and Ageing (ILVV).

My research is in the field of public health and population studies, with a specific interest on:

• Population health: Levels, trends and disparities, more particularly looking at social/gender health and mortality inequalities.
• The health deterioration process: to identify mechanisms and factors leading from chronic diseases to functional limitation and activity restrictions, with national and European data bases,
• Measurement issues: quality and comparability of survey instruments, for international harmonization of population health information.
