Conclusion

This chapter concludes the book by first extracting the key findings from each of the preceeding chapters. This provides a unique summary of the major policy-orientated implications of one half of the NDA Programme. Then some of the main thematic connections between the chapters are highlighted. These include the insights they provide into the changing dynamics of ageing, the importance of design for better ageing and their demonstration of how to conduct multi-disciplinary research on ageing.
