The overall goal of the Portal is to ensure you know about and have access to high-quality information that can help you remain healthy, active and engaged as long as possible, and to manage your health conditions. The Portal aims to be a trusted voice on healthy aging for the public.
The Portal has several types of content including informative Blog Posts, consumer-friendly Web Resource Ratings, and Evidence Summaries drawn from high quality research articles.
Our content for health professionals is drawn from three best-in-class resources for clinical, public health and policymaking questions. The Portal search interface helps you find the best available research evidence about healthy aging.
