Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology (DGCG)
The DGCG supports research on health and disease in the aged and research on aging during the human lifespan, including its relationships to health outcomes.
Research Areas
Research initiatives comprising of three major areas: Geriatrics, Clinical Gerontology, and Clinical Trials. Geriatrics research focuses primarily on health issues regarding the aged and addresses research on disease and disability in older persons, including both specific conditions and issues related to multiple morbidity. Clinical Gerontology research focuses primarily on clinically related issues regarding aging and addresses research on aging and changes during the lifespan. A major focus is on the determinants of age-related progression rate changes that affect disease risk, particularly those affecting risk for multiple age-related conditions. The program also plans and administers clinical trials on age-related issues.
