Abstract:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic challenged bioethical principles of research and the ability of scientific and healthcare institutions to provide equitable care. How can geroscience adapt to build equity within research protocols to better serve minoritized and marginalized communities? What lessons can geroscience take from the COVID-19 pandemic and its response? Developing geroscience approaches that incorporate such knowledge, including vaccine distribution plans and coalition-building to improve vaccine confidence, may help to reduce health inequities.
