Research Interest:

I am a sociologist and currently a PhD candidate in Public Health at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto. My doctoral project, entitled "Assessing Health in Older Adulthood: The Relationship of Sociopolitical Factors and Gender Inequity to Quality of Life, Frailty, and Inflammatory Status", is being carried out in collaboration with the Institute for Medical Information Processing, Biometrics and Epidemiology (IBE) at LMU Munich. My research focuses on how social and gender inequalities and social policies affect health in later life, using both quantitative and qualitative methods.
