Abstract

Posed 16 years ago in a much-cited editorial by gerontologist, Alan Walker, "Why involve older people in research?" is a question that has since inspired researchers in many countries and from diverse disciplines. In Sweden, researchers and older people have been collaborating in the 6-year UserAge research programme, focusing on user involvement in research on ageing and health, UserAge aims at contributing to an in-depth understanding of the challenges and benefits of user involvement in different phases of the research process. Approaching programme completion, the authors take the opportunity to dwell upon current reasons for and modes of user involvement in ageing research in light of the argument originally put forward by Alan Walker back in 2007.

摘要

16年前，老年医学专家艾伦·沃克在一篇被广泛引用的社论中提出了“为什么要让老年人参与研究？”这一问题，自那以后，它激发了许多国家、不同学科的研究人员的思考。在瑞典，研究人员和老年人在为期6年的“用户年龄”研究项目中展开合作，该项目专注于用户参与衰老与健康研究，旨在深入理解用户在研究过程不同阶段参与其中所面临的挑战和带来的益处。随着项目接近尾声，作者们借此机会，根据艾伦·沃克在2007年最初提出的观点，仔细探讨了目前老年人参与衰老研究的原因和方式。
