Internal Medicine

Ageing makes people more vulnerable to both acute and chronic diseases. More than half of all individuals over 65 years in The Netherlands suffer from more than one disease (multimorbidity). The overall goal of our research is to add high-quality life-years to our ageing population. 

Internal medicine covers acute and chronic multifactorial conditions. These conditions, particularly when co-existing in the patient with multimorbidity, strongly impact quality of life, disease burden, and life expectancy.
