معرفی
Mikaela Bloomberg is a Senior Research Fellow in Social Epidemiology and Social Statistics at the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University College London (UCL). She is affiliated with the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) research team, focusing on social and behavioral factors influencing health and wellbeing in later life. Her work integrates life course perspectives with longitudinal data to examine inequalities in cognitive ageing, dementia risk, and other ageing-related outcomes.
Education background includes a PhD in Epidemiology from UCL (2022), an MSc in Epidemiology from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (2019), and a BSc in Computational Biology from Cornell University (2018). Her research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and 5 (Gender Equality).
Research interests emphasize understanding how demographic, socioeconomic, and social factors shape health trajectories in older adults. Key areas include cognitive decline, physiological ageing disparities, mobility barriers, and the joint effects of physical activity/sleep on cognition. She has contributed to cross-national studies comparing health outcomes across income levels and sexes.
Her publications from 2023-2025 highlight trends in studying sex differences in ageing processes, environmental influences on cognition, and pandemic impacts on health behaviors. Collaborations involve large-scale cohort studies like Whitehall II and ELSA, focusing on frailty, mobility, and functional limitations in ageing populations.
While no specific grants or advising roles are detailed, her work consistently addresses health equity through longitudinal analyses. She contributes to UCL's Institute of Epidemiology & Health as a postgraduate teaching assistant.
