Lifelong Health
The Lifelong Health Theme aims to deliver multiple discovery-to-impact approaches to overcome the enormous health challenges posed by the chronic diseases that affect us as we age.
As SAHMRI's largest and most diverse theme, Lifelong Health tackles chronic diseases through a multi-faceted approach.
The vision of Lifelong Health is to become an increasingly collaborative research powerhouse by addressing cohesive research questions across the theme. Chronic diseases are often considered individually, but that does not represent the 'real world' situation as they often co-exist with shared causes and risk factors. By leveraging Lifelong Health's expertise, we will tackle chronic diseases in an integrated fashion.
Theme Leaders
SAHMRI is located on Kaurna Country. We pay respects to the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We are committed to embracing knowledge and culture as we continue our working journey to incorporate Aboriginal health research across all of our themes and further reconciliation.
