A nationwide five-year study, targeted at investigating the social, economic, environmental, biological, and policy processes that shape late-life health and economic well-being in Kenya, has received a Sh3.04 billion ($23.6 million) grant from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The findings of the Longitudinal Study of Health and Ageing in Kenya would help the government and communities prepare for the expected sharp rise in older adults in the coming decades.
