Multigenerational Education Effect on Dementia Risk, Liying Luo

Dr. Luo’s research focuses on (1) how aging, social change, and population processes interact with social institutions such as schools and family to produce inequality and disparities and (2) identifying trajectories and explaining trends in health, cognitive, and mortality outcomes. She has developed a novel model for determining age, time periods, and cohort patterns in various outcomes such as cognitive development, health status and behaviors, mortality, and substance use.
