Wellness, Performance, and Longevity | Can We Turn Back Time? Investing in Healthy Longevity

As people around the world are living increasingly longer, governments and researchers must address the increased incidence of age-related chronic diseases as well as strategies to manage such conditions. However, networks of leading scientists are directing their efforts toward how to prevent these disorders in the first place. Results of the latest research on the biology of aging and the associations between aging and age-related diseases offer a wealth of findings requiring creative solutions. The next step will be to translate the scientific findings into practical approaches that could improve the health and productivity of older populations. The challenges associated with scientific longevity solutions are replete with opportunities for investing. But the prerequisite is to identify the incentives that will recruit investors and researchers and keep them absorbed in the science of aging.
