An individual's healthspan can be defined as the length of time an
individual is able to maintain good health. In 2007, over one
hundred experts and researchers from public and private
institutions across the nation convened to find new ways of
addressing the human healthspan and the elusive nature of aging.
Experts in public health, bioengineering, neuroscience and
gerontology discussed how stress and lifestyle influence the
decline of health at older ages. Other discussions focused on the
integration of technology in the quality of life, gerontology,
regenerative medicine and life expectancy with regard to social and
behavioral traits. Still, other groups explored topics such as the
cellular and molecular mechanisms of biological aging, the effects
of exercise on the human healthspan, and changes in social context
to enhance functional status of the elderly. Most importantly,
experts agreed that it was imperative to ensure that the elderly
have access to medical services by establishing relationships with
health care and insurance providers. Table of Contents Front Matter
