   Sammanfattning : Predictors for survival have been investigated thoroughly, but less is known about how to reach high age with preserved physical and cognitive function. These functions are crucial to stay independent in daily life, which is highly valued by the oldest old.This thesis was based on data from the Uppsala Longitudinal Study in Adult Men. LÄS MER

3. 2. Architecture and Ageing : On the Interaction between Frail Older People and the Built Environment
