معرفی
Jürgen Maurer serves as Professor at the LIVES Centre (Interdisciplinary Centre for Research and Intervention on Life Course, Ageing and Vulnerability) at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, focusing on aging populations and vulnerability across national contexts including Switzerland, India, and European nations through large-scale datasets like SHARE and WHO SAGE.
His research centers on end-of-life decision-making processes, health literacy determinants, and cognitive aging mechanisms in later life. Key investigations include longitudinal relationships between pet ownership and cognitive function, physical activity's mediating role in health literacy-cognition pathways, and cross-cultural analyses of advance care planning adoption. Methodologically, he employs population-based surveys and cross-national comparisons to address social determinants of health disparities.
Recent publication trends reveal intensified focus on pandemic impacts (mortality patterns, cognitive health during lockdowns), healthcare inequities in developing contexts (India's hypertension/diabetes clustering), and technological intersections with aging (ChatGPT applications for research prioritization). His work consistently bridges clinical gerontology with public health policy implications.
