The first professorship in gerontology at the University of Copenhagen has recently been established at the Department of Social Medicine, Institute of Public Health. The research in relation to this professorship will focus on studies of early signs of ageing, on the way different biological, social, mental and health factors in childhood, adolescence and early adulthood influence early signs of ageing in midlife, and on rehabilitation and prevention of disability in late life.
