Research
Dr Kiely's research adopts a contextualised perspective to human development across the life-course and spans the fields of life-course epidemiology, social psychiatry, and gero-psychology. His primary research interests cover aspects of healthy and productive ageing, focusing the following main themes:
- behavioural and social determinants of mental health across the life-course,
- the social, functional and cognitive impacts of sensory loss in late life,
- dementia prevention, and
- social inequalities in healthy life expectancy.
