Institute of Longevity, Elderhood and Ageing
Since january 2018, I am the director of the Institute of Longevity, Elderhood and Ageing.
Our institute aims to promote the legibility of the field, interdisciplinary collaborations and the co-construction of research questions and projects. To this end, ILVV develops several activities, including the identification of teams working in the field whatever their discipline, with the aim of developing a multidisciplinary thematic database; the support for national and regional scientific events proposed by the actors and actors in the field; training of young researchers. Activities around these missions will be implemented gradually this year.
Recent and on-going projects:
Disability-free life expectancies in France
We are currently developing new estimations of disability-free life expectancies (DFLE) for France based on the most recent population surveys. A first axis in this project consists in producing and analyzing recent trends in DFLE in the prolongement of a project on old ages dependency in France DIMADO (IRESP fundings), in collaboration with Amélie Carrère (INED / Université Paris-Dauphine) and Jean-Marie Robine (INSERM/EHESP/INED); the outcome will provide an update of the previous works of which DFLE series stopped in 2008. The second axis has consisted in producing for the first time in France DFLE estimates at a regional level, in the framework of the IPADOM (IRESP fundings) in collaboration with Maude Crouzet and Didier Breton (université de Strasbourg) and Caroline Laborde (ORS Ile de France). The thid axis consitis in estimating DFLE by social status.
The project "Health inequalities between men and women (ISHEF)" started in 2013 under my responsability (IRESP 2011) aimed to analyze gender differences in diseases, disability and dependency in order to identify factors linked to family situations, occupational careers and medical patterns. This is a collaborative and pluridisciplinary project to bring better document these differences (C Bonnet, D. Cheung, C Garrouste, M Khlat, F Meslé, AF Molinié, W. Nusselder, A Pailhé).
Following this, we will develop new research axes to go further in the analysis of the factors explaining the differences between women and men in healthy aging. The GINGO project (Gender and Health Inequalities in the CONSTANCES cohort) was selected in the ANR call for projects. The project is under development and will be completed in 2024.
