CALHN Research Pulse podcast | Season 1 Episode 5 |

In this episode we learn that neighbourhood characteristics (such as amount of green space) can have a significant impact on older people’s ability to age successfully at home.

We speak to Dr Danielle Taylor, health geographer and postdoctoral research fellow, and learn: 

• what the role of health geographer entails
• the challenge of managing the ageing population
• the Healthy Ageing/Vulnerable ENvironment (HAVEN) Index
• predicting death and transition to aged care using the HAVEN Index.
