It brings new chapters on a life course approach to the long-term health consequences of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines the current and potential use of new technologies, methods and collaborative approaches in life course studies and provides updated reviews of the latest life course evidence for age-related chronic diseases. It discusses how life course research is being used, and could be used, to improve population health in high, middle, and low-income countries, identifying how and when interventions may be most effective. New chapters on multimorbidity, translational geroscience and exposomics have also been added.
