Healthy Aging

Those who think about aging, often think about worsening health. How individuals deal with aging, what they do in order not to fall sick and which strategies individuals use to recover from diseases, are main research topics of our team. We examine views on aging and old age in different population and occupational groups, we develop prevention approaches and concepts for systematic behavior change and investigate coping processes of aging individuals in case of health problems or health shocks, e.g. after a stroke.
