The 16th International Conference on Aging in the Americas will focus on new research regarding life course exposures, physical and mental health, and social and economic wellbeing of aging populations in the Americas. 

Questions: 

1. How do cross-country comparisons provide richer data to examine vulnerable aging populations in the Americas? 

2. How do social and economic disadvantage across the life course in the Mexican-origin population affect cognition, Alzheimer disease, and related disorders (ADRD)? 

3. What are the social and economic dimensions of resilience and their impact on physical and mental health, cognitive function, and mobility and care options? 

4. How do climate change, pollution, and environmental exposures affect health and wellbeing of older adults?
