The National Neighborhood Data Archive

Learn more about how NaNDA is building a stronger national resource for neighborhood and aging research: myumi.ch/nVrQg

ISR’s NaNDA has received an $11M National Institute on Aging award to expand its neighborhood data collection by about 30%. Led by Philippa Clarke and Grace Noppert, the project will support new research on respiratory illness, environmental hazards and healthy aging.

🧪SRC researchers used the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke study & ‪@umnanda.bsky.social‬ to examine the impact of long-term exposures to temperature extremes on cognitive decline in elderly people myumi.ch/61w2w

In order to better characterize heat burden inequalities, Carina Gronlund et al. developed an approach to estimate individual and subgroup-specific health impacts before and during extreme heat events for three U.S. cities: Atlanta (hot-humid), Detroit (temperate) & Phoenix (hot-dry) myumi.ch/y1VER

🚗 1 in 4 older adults stop driving due to vision loss, a new study from U-M finds. Co-authored by NaNDA's Philippa Clarke & powered by our Public Transit Stops data. Aging, mobility & access—this matters. #NaNDA #Aging #TransitData @icpsr.bsky.social

"Late-life visual impairment (VI) increases driving difficulty and affects driving outcomes, such as driving cessation and avoidance. Existing studies are limited by small sample sizes and a lack of objective VI measures in older drivers on a national scale."
