Are we adding more life to our years? Testing a compression of morbidity argument by examining activity-limiting pain in older adults using multistate life table methods

April 12, 2023, 12:00 to 13:00 (Online event)

The compression of morbidity argument contests that the burden of illness can be compressed into a shorter period of time before death, thereby improving the quality of life.
