www.clsa-elcv.ca Drs.

The CLSA will collect information on the changing biological, medical, psychological, social, and economic aspects of people’s lives. These factors will be studied in order to understand how, individually and in combination, they have an impact in both maintaining health and in the development of disease and disability as people age. The CLSA will be one of the most comprehensive studies of its ki

nd undertaken to date, not only in Canada but around the world. Dr. Parminder Raina (McMaster University, Hamilton) is the lead Principal Investigator of the CLSA. Christina Wolfson (McGill University, Montreal) and Susan Kirkland (Dalhousie University, Halifax) are Co-Principal Investigators of the CLSA. Raina, Wolfson and Kirkland, along with a team of more than 160 investigators and collaborators from several Canadian universities have participated in the development of this innovative, interdisciplinary study.

New metabolomics research published in npj Aging using the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging is offering deeper insight into how diet may influence frailty risk in later life.

The study, led by postdoctoral fellow Talha Rafiq, CLSA principal investigator Parminder Raina, and their team, analyzed metabolomic data from nearly 10,000 adults to better understand how dietary patterns, inflammation, and frailty are connected at the molecular level.

Une nouvelle étude métabolomique publiée dans la r***e npj Aging à partir des données de l’Étude longitudinale canadienne sur le vieillissement procure un aperçu plus approfondi de l’influence possible de l’alimentation sur le risque de fragilité plus t**d dans la vie.

L’étude, dirigée par le stagiaire postdoctoral Talha Rafiq, le chercheur principal de l’ÉLCV Parminder Raina et leur équipe, a permis d’analyser les données métabolomiques de près de 10 000 adultes afin de mieux comprendre les liens moléculaires entre les habitudes alimentaires, l’inflammation et la fragilité.

As a trainee at McMaster University and University of Toronto, Selina Malouka used CLSA data to research life-space mobility among Canadian adults. As a practicing physiotherapist, she continues to explore how people move through and engage with their communities as they age.

Selina's work evaluates the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) and establishes reference values across age and s*x, showing how mobility patterns shift over time and examining how the LSA relates to other mobility measures and health outcomes, contributing to a more refined understanding of mobility in later life.

Pendant son stage à l’Université McMaster et à l’Université de Toronto , Selina Malouka a puisé dans les données de l’ÉLCV pour étudier l’aire de mobilité dans la population canadienne adulte. En qualité de physiothérapeute en exercice, elle continue d’explorer la manière dont les adultes bougent et participent à leur communauté avec l’âge.

Son travail évalue l’outil Life-Space Assessment (LSA), dont la version française s’appelle évaluation des habitudes de déplacement, en établit les valeurs de référence en fonction de l’âge et du s*xe, démontre l’évolution des profils de mobilité au fil du temps et examine la relation entre le LSA et d’autres mesures de mobilité et résultats de santé, contribuant ainsi à mieux comprendre la mobilité plus t**d dans la vie.

The CLSA is excited to announce the new Dr. Susan Kirkland Early Career Researcher Data Access Award. As a co-founding Principal Investigator of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, Dr. Kirkland has dedicated her career to understanding how Canadians age — and how research can improve health and well being across the lifespan. This award reflects her belief in mentorship, equity, and the importance of supporting early career scholars.

The award provides a one-time waiver of the CLSA data access fee for an early-career researcher, reducing financial barriers for early career researchers (ECRs) and enabling greater participation in high impact research using CLSA data. This initiative is designed to help emerging researchers pursue meaningful, high impact work that contributes to our understanding of aging in Canada.

Applications for the award will be accepted from after July 9th, 2026 to October 7, 2026 as part of the CLSA’s data access application process.

L’Étude longitudinale canadienne sur le vieillissement (ÉLCV) a le plaisir de présenter le nouveau prix Pre-Susan-Kirkland d’accès aux données à une chercheuse ou un chercheur en début de carrière. En qualité de cochercheuse principale fondatrice de l’ÉLCV, la Pre Susan-Kirkland a consacré sa carrière à la compréhension du mode de vieillissement de la population canadienne et à la manière dont la recherche peut améliorer la santé et le bien-être tout au long de la vie. Ce prix reflète son adhésion au mentorat, à l’équité et à l’importance de soutenir les scientifiques en début de carrière.

Il fournit une dispense ponctuelle aux droits d’accès aux données de l’ÉLCV à une chercheuse ou un chercheur en début de carrière, afin de réduire les obstacles financiers qu’affrontent ces chercheuses et chercheurs et de favoriser une plus grande participation à des recherches à fort impact réalisées à partir des données de l’ÉLCV. L’initiative vise à aider les chercheuses et chercheurs émergents à effectuer du travail probant à fort impact qui contribue à la compréhension du vieillissement au Canada.

Les candidatures au prix seront acceptées après le 9 juillet et jusqu’au 7 octobre 2026, dans le cadre du processus de demande d’accès aux données de l’ÉLCV.
