Have you recently finished a project or published a paper that integrates social and health science data with disaster, climate or environmental data? Would you like to share your code on the CACHE website?

We are pleased to announce a call for your code and
data integrating social and environmental data to examine the intersections of aging, climate, and health. 

CACHE is pleased to announce seed funding for projects integrating social and environmental data to examine the intersections of aging, climate, and health. 

The relationship between air pollution and negative health outcomes (including mortality), has been well-documented across many disciplines. A bit more recently, researchers have begun to explore how air pollution may also affect cognitive decline. In fact, the Lancet Commission (2020) has identified air pollution as a risk factor for dementia.   

In a previous post, I explored the different methods for measuring outdoor air pollution and its impact on cognitive aging. In this post, I turn to the importance of considering other major sources of air pollution exposure—primarily indoor air pollution (IAP), which constitutes a significant and relatively understudied component of total exposure. 

Frameworks, tools that can be used to inform research and develop interventions, can help conceptualize scientific problems and visualize complex relationships between factors that influence health. In the past several years, several new frameworks have been developed regarding the interactions between environmental factors such as climate change and health, paying special attention to the impacts on an aging population

We’ve compiled a selection of population-environment sessions for your reference. This is not a comprehensive or official list, so if your session is missing and should be included, please let us know at info@agingclimatehealth.org
