| Annotation | The consumer perspective of ageing research is the theme of this editorial, and is by way of introduction to the article by Fudge et al in this issue of Age and Ageing. Alan Walker suggests that older people's involvement in research may be characterised as a continuum between two models: consumerism and empowerment. He argues that older people should be involved as a matter of human rights, but equally importantly to contribute their own understandings about ageing and service use. He concludes by referring to UK and European research initiatives, including the New Dynamics of Ageing Research Programme funded by the five UK Research Councils which has placed involvement of older people in research high on its agenda.
