Sandra Reynolds

Emeritus Professor - Gerontology/Public Policy 1996, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA

Dr. Reynolds had a long-standing interest in guardianship, advance directives, and legal and ethical issues in aging. She has published extensively on guardianship and advance directives, as well as trends in health. While her research interests still include legal and ethical issues in aging, particularly in the area of guardianship and financial exploitation, her recent focus on aging research relates to the impact of obesity.
