The new area of work led by the Department of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Ageing (MCA), within its cross-cutting work on healthy trajectories and concentrating on connecting healthy development and healthy ageing across the life course, was launched in the kick-off meeting on 9-10 June 2022. The virtual meeting included 30 speakers from a range of national and international perspectives and was attended by wide range of participants from all six WHO regions. Key issues and questions for research were identified for each life stage, and across life stages, on ways to operationalize life course interventions and measure their impact. Multisectoral actions required to optimize functional ability and well-being across the life course was emphasized. Finally, the meeting initiated the development of a collaborative network of life course centers worldwide interested to work together.
