The University of Florida has an ambitious goal: to harness the
power of its faculty, staff, students, and alumni to solve some of
society's most pressing problems and to become a resource for the
state of Florida, the nation, and the world. In the upcoming
decades, an unprecedented demographic shift will take place; the
eighty-five and over population is projected to climb far higher
than any other age group. To keep the current elderly population
healthy and help prevent future generations from experiencing poor
health outcomes, researchers are studying crucial connections
between skeletal muscles and whole-body health. The University of
Florida is at the forefront of this research, utilizing its
nationally recognized excellence in the fields of muscle biology
and exercise physiology to discover unique ways to preserve muscle
health in the aging and those with diseases. Find out how the
proteins within muscle can be manipulated to reduce recovery times
for individuals who are bedridden. Learn how older, elite athletes
have resisted the inevitable degeneration that comes with aging,
and how intermittent fasting may help you live longer and
healthier. Step inside the lab where a researcher is uncovering the
origins of cancer cachexia a wasting syndrome responsible for 20
percent of cancer deaths worldwide to improve the lives of
patients. The loss of skeletal muscle through disease, disuse, or
aging is associated with a host of poor health outcomes, but
promising new avenues of research are being studied every day at
the University of Florida to make for a healthier tomorrow.
