Moreover, there is limited understanding of how women&#8217;s life experiences and life-course challenges accumulate and influence cardiometabolic risk, mental health, functional limitations, cognitive health, reproductive aging, and mortality in mid- and later life. This project is novel in advancing gender and health scholarship beyond sexual and reproductive health toward a life-course account of women&#8217;s ageing and chronic disease risk. Drawing on the stress process framework and the life course perspective, we conceptualise gender inequality as interrelated exposures that generate chronic strain and cumulative disadvantage, become biologically embedded, and shape health in later life.<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Project&#8217;s Team<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"vikram_kriti\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2020\/09\/vikram_kriti.jpg\" alt=\"vikram_kriti\" width=\"370\" height=\"463\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<p><strong>Principal Investigator<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Associate Professor Kriti Vikram<br \/>Department of Sociology &amp; Anthropology and Co-Director of CFPR<br \/>Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences<br \/>National University of Singapore <a href=\"https:\/\/discovery.nus.edu.sg\/6430-kriti-vikram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Profile<\/a><\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Contact Us<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p><strong>Principal Investigator:<\/strong> Associate Professor Kriti Vikram (socvk@nus.edu.sg)<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Address:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Centre for Family and Population Research, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore, The Shaw Foundation Building, Block AS7, Level 3, 5 Arts Link Singapore 117570<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advancing Global Research on the Health Implications of Gender Inequality Project&#8217;s Details Title: Advancing Global Research on the Health Implications of Gender Inequality Funded by: Ministry of Education (MOE) Tier 1 Amount: S$47,180 PI: Associate Professor Kriti Vikram, Department of Sociology and Anthropology and Co-Director of CFPR, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, NUS Project [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":364,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-34229","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
