The last century has seen advances in life span leading to individual and societal achievements that would have been unimaginable to prior generations. While extending life is a remarkable accomplishment, we must do more to extend health span -- the length of time we are in optimal health. From the battle to control chronic disease to the efforts to conquer Alzheimer's, there's much work to do. But hope is on the horizon. Advances in genomics arm scientists with greater knowledge about our health profiles than ever before. Awareness about the importance of prevention, nutrition and exercise is growing daily. New health technologies empower individuals. Personalized and precision medicine enables doctors to customize advice and treatment. Healthy aging is within our reach, but it will take personal responsibility and societal resolve to make it happen. Our panel of experts will shed new light on the changing health landscape and on the actions every individual can take to enhance their prospects for healthy aging.
