- Nutrition and senior autonomy;
- Cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases (i.e. Alzheimer’s), cancer, endocrine dysfunctions (i.e. diabetes);
- Processes and effects of sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass)

- Fall prevention;
- Social and psychological vulnerability among seniors;
- Telehealh, telerehabilitation and telemonitoring;
- Driving and road safety;
