The CLSA has reached a new data access milestone with the approval of over 200 research-led projects using data from the CLSA. The approved projects span several disciplines including biological, clinical, social sciences, and population health, and will create knowledge to better understand how various factors, both individually and in combination, affect the ways in which people age.
Researchers who lead these projects are affiliated with some of Canada’s most innovative academic research institutions and will help fulfill the CLSA’s vision to enable interdisciplinary, population-based research.
Some of these projects include:
- The Health Status and Health Trajectories of Older Immigrants in Canada
Dr. Esme Fuller-Thomson, University of Toronto - Examining Heterogeneity in Frailty in the Canadian Population
Dr. Lauren Griffith, McMaster University - Understanding Work-Related Injuries, Risk Factors, and Short-term Outcomes among Middle-Aged and Older Workers Using National Data for Provincial Comparisons
Dr. Shahin Shooshtari, University of Manitoba - Determinants of health among older sexual minority Canadians: A study of risk and resources
Dr. Arne Stinchcombe, Saint Paul University - Determinants of Early Mobility Limitation in Older Canadians
