A Revolution in Longevity Science

-

People are living longer than ever before. On average, across OECD countries, at age 65, people can expect to live another 19.7 years. By the year 2050, there will be eight times as many centenarians as there are today. By studying the biology and psychology of aging, researchers are finding pathways that may allow us to stave off age-related diseases, such as dementia, and increase our lifespans and health spans. This session will explore new evidence regarding the best ways to extend healthy longevity and possibly reverse the aging process.
