Geroscience examines the underlying biology of aging to delay chronic diseases and extend the healthy years of human life.

Don’t get old before your time. A number of very common everyday habits can accelerate biological aging, putting extra stress on your cells and organs and making yourself more susceptible to certain ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

Aging is a biological process that no one can avoid. Ideally, growing old should be a time to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Aging also has a darker side, however, often linked to disease.

New research uncovering the DNA-damaging mechanism by which a mutated gene causes a rare, fatal disease may have repercussions for the treatment of many other diseases linked to aging, including heart ...

The geroscience hypothesis focuses on extending the healthy lifespan by targeting aging mechanisms. Recent advances in biomarkers for biological aging give rise to tools for measuring aging and ...

Age-related decline is not an unavoidable fate, but a problem that can be addressed with modern medicine, writes Andrew S. Brack.

Sex among older adults has health benefits and a loss of interest can signal a medical issue. For sexually active adults, there are also risks that the Aging Untold experts say are not being addressed ...

Hypertension, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and obesity remain the major modifiable risk factors for most of the coronary disease afflicting the elderly. The relative risk associated with ...

Scientists found people taking a daily multivitamin showed slightly slower biological aging over two years, though the benefit appears small.
