Gerontosociology

Advancing Gerontological Insights for a Healthier Tomorrow

Welcome, My Dear Visitor!

As a PhD student at Semmelweis University in Hungary, specialising in Gerontology with a focus on the sociology and health promoting decisions and attitudes of the ageing population, I’ve started this website to serve as a comprehensive resource for my research. Here you’ll find insights into the effects of Health Development Offices (EFI Irodák) on the health-related behaviour of the elderly, as well as research on factors influencing the acceptance and refusal of preventive services among older adults.

This platform is not only a place of my findings, but also a platform for collaboration, discussion and sharing of ideas. Whether you are a researcher, a participant, or simply interested in the sociology of ageing, your contributions and feedback are important for us.

Thank you for visiting in my hompage and I look forward to collaborating with you to improve the health and well-being of our ageing population.
