Erja Portegijs

Research interests: active aging, mobility and physical activity in old age, person-environment interactions, rehabilitation and physical function. I utilize interdisciplinary research methods from geography, epidemiology and sport science. *** I previously worked at the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences and Gerontology Research Center (GEREC) at University of Jyvaskyla, where I set-up the 'Places of Active Aging' and 'GEOage' projects and contributed to the 'AGNES' and 'LISPE' cohorts.
