Biological aging and interventionary strategies are investigated
with the eventual goal of extending healthy human lifespan and
minimizing the incidence of diseases associated with aging.
Biogerontologists, evolutionary biologists, biodemographers,
scientists in related basic research, clinicians, and dieticians
came together in Istanbul, Turkey, to share their research and
discuss the latest developments in this rapidly advancing
field.
This volume presents chapters representative of the highlights
of the meeting, including contributions in the following areas: (1)
biological and nonbiological factors affecting lifespan and the
quality of life; (2) ethical and social issues related to lifespan
and health-span extension; (3) novel areas of understanding aging
-- physiological, cellular, and molecular aspects; (4) new
technologies to understand and modulate aging; (5) the latest
successful approaches in the prevention and treatment of
age-related diseases; and (6) aging intervention, prevention, and
modulation by genes, natural and synthetic molecules, and lifestyle
modifications.
