slide1. Geroscience and Obesity Age is the number 1 risk factor for problems such as heart disease and cancer
Targeting aging could control these diseases – improving health and lifespan
Animal models show it is possible to affect the rate of aging – either genetically, behaviorally, or pharmaceutically
Calorie restriction is a potent approach to extending lifespan, with supporting data across many animal models
Reduction in calories switches on many cell maintenance and repair systems
There is an intersection between weight loss and geroscience – suggesting obesity treatment can slow the aging process Key Takeaways Source: Kritchevsky S. Interview. Geroscience and Obesity. The Best of Obesity Week. November, 2024.<br>
