Research summary
AI-generated

Hui Liu's research focuses on how marriage, family relationships, and social connections affect health and aging, particularly among older adults. Topics include spousal influences on conditions like memory decline and hypertension, social isolation and support, sexuality in later life, and how couples' relationships (including same-sex partnerships) relate to cognitive health. The work often uses large longitudinal or dyadic (couple-based) datasets to study these patterns over time.
