University of Minnesota School of Public Health’s fall 2022 issue of Advances focuses on Aging. It is a complex subject and connected to nearly every aspect of contemporary life, from how we handle disease to how we design crosswalks to how we address the needs or racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities. Other stories include polarized political landscapes that sideline public health policy and a faculty member’s focus on the diseases of poverty.
