About

Carol Franz is a Professor at the University of California San Diego, USA. Her research focuses on aging, cognitive decline, and health disparities as demonstrated in her recent articles examining genetic and environmental factors contributing to age-related hearing loss and the relationships between cognitive function, lifestyle behaviors, and health outcomes in older adults. Additionally, she investigates the cognitive impacts of conditions such as chronic pain and the role of polygenic scores in predicting cognitive changes over time.
