The first part of the Forum focused on the biology of aging and age-related disorders. The experts presented the latest findings in the molecular, cellular, and organismal basis of aging, offering an opportunity to learn and discuss novel concepts and current challenges. The second part of the Forum dealt with the critical role of social connections, culture and the arts in shaping our happiness, health and longevity, merging epidemiological and scientific data with psychological aspects. Studies showing how culture and the arts increase people’s life expectancy were also presented.
Tomorrow’s Longevity Forum features three panel sessions focusing on key elements of sustainable longevity, including the need for an agricultural revolution and societal change, as well as a discussion around the pressures placed on sustainability by population growth.
