Event Description
Healthy aging is shaped by the exposome—the accumulation of environmental, social, and lived experiences across the life course that influence health, cognition, resilience, and disparities in aging. For researchers interested in incorporating measures such as climate exposures, neighborhood conditions, policy environments, stress, and accessibility into their research, understanding how these complex exposures should be measured and analyzed is critical. This webinar will introduce the Gateway Exposome Coordinating Center (GECC), an NIA-funded initiative working to advance and accelerate aging research through the development of guidance, best practices, and shared resources for the use of exposome data across disciplines. GECC leadership will provide an overview of the exposome concept, GECC’s six domains, and ongoing efforts to develop and evaluate exposome measures and methodologies relevant to aging research.
