DESCRIPTION:Presentation Presentation of her previous\, current\, and futur
 e work on the area of the social epidemiology of aging. Her objectives are
  to introduce you to: 1) the existing heterogeneity in the aging process a
 cross populations\, and the main social determinants of such heterogeneity
  taking as an example my work on Latin America and the Caribbean populatio
 ns\; 2) the existing knowledge gaps in epidemiology of aging and how my cu
 rrent projects would help to fill those gaps\, and 3) a new area of resear
 ch: the social epidemiology of aging in people living with « HIV/AIDS ».
  Speaker Beatriz Alvarado is a physician from Colombia who holds a PhD deg

 ify sex/gender differences in exposures to violence and its consequences i
