SNAC-K at Senior Day in Kungsträdgården (May 5, 2026)

On a sunny spring day in Kungsträdgården, Stockholm, the annual Senior Day brought together politicians, organizations, researchers, and the public to celebrate and explore aging. SNAC-K (The Swedish National study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen) was represented by members of our data collection staff.

Visitors to our booth had the opportunity to test their grip strength and sense of smell — two simple but important indicators of health in later life. These hands-on activities sparked engaging conversations about aging and well-being.

We are grateful to all who stopped by to learn more about our work — and we look forward to continuing the conversation about aging, research, and health in years to come.
