So what's missing from the research? Largely global perspectives that tells us what older people across the world need and want, cross-sectional research, and research that looks at the whole trajectory of a life #CSIAnnualLecture25

Paper of the week🌟Economic burdens of caring for a dying partner are substantial. Same-gender partners were associated with more healthcare use than different-gender partners post-bereavement, possibly linked to higher levels of psychological distress. doi.org/10.1177/026921632513…
