Research summary
AI-generated

Pi-Ju Liu's research focuses on the safety and well-being of older adults, particularly elder abuse, mistreatment, and fraud, as well as the systems (like Adult Protective Services and nursing homes) meant to protect them. More recent work also examines physical and mental health topics in aging, such as sleep quality, sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), loneliness, and fatigue among older adults. This research combines social policy analysis with health and aging studies, often using administrative and survey data.
