About
This research project aims to understand why older adults have trouble moving around by studying their genes and environment. The study will use data from a UK database and measure how people walk in their daily life using a special wrist sensor. The study hopes to find out how genes and environment affect the way people walk and develop a score to measure it. This study could help us understand how genes and environment affect mobility as people age. This could help us design better cities that make it easier for people to walk, which could prevent chronic diseases. The study could also improve the quality of life for older people and benefit communities and the economy. The study covers three areas: genes, technology, and statistics, and its findings could have a big impact on many fields. The anticipated duration of this project is three years.1 Publication
