Jan Marcusson

Professor Emeritus

I am responsible for two separate research lines. One is trying to find new tools and work models to improve the health care of old people. The other one studies methods evaluation cognition and function in old age.

Presentation

My primary research line is on how we use medical statistical tools for diagnostic/prediction of fragile elderly and how we scientifically can develop and evaluate new clinical management models for personalized health care for older persons both in primary and hospital care.

This line involves several other senior scientist at LiU and creates a new research environment for clinical aging research.

My secondary research line studies cognitive function in the oldest old and how we should detect cognitive defects in primary och specialist care.
