The relationship between stroke and disability depends on the health care system Spatial Patterns of Dementia Prevalence and its Vascular Risk Factors in Germany Does Education Matter for Incidence and Prevalence in Long-term Care Among the Elderly in Germany?

Is there a disadvantage in later life?
Whether increasing life expectancy leads to better health remains still controversial. Three topics are explored: (1) vanguard groups which inform about possible levels of health if the general social and environmental conditions were to approach those of the vanguard group; (2) the social and behavioral determinants of health differentiated into proximal and distal factors; (3) vulnerable groups such as migrants and the health differences between migrant groups. Newly available population-based data as well as new study designs and advanced statistical modelling form the basis for the empirical analyses.
