Oon Chiew Seng Professor in Medicine and Functional AgeingSingapore's population is rapidly ageing - people are living longer, while the birth rate remains low. By 2030, one in four Singaporeans will be 65 years and above, twice the current ratio. In addition, direct costs of elderly healthcare in Singapore are projected to rise tenfold to more than $66 billion. Given the increased prevalence of age-related disease that accompanies the ageing population, this issue may represent the biggest medical challenge of the 21st century. Ageing is the most common and biggest risk factor for most chronic diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, frailty, most forms of cancer and diabetes.The Centre for Healthy Longevity is a multi-disciplinary hub that integrates research and clinical care, providing a holistic strategy to promote healthy living throughout the ageing process, from effective disease prevention in the healthy to novel and compassionate end-of-life care.

The Healthy Longevity Medicine Society is the international medical Society of Longevity Medicine promoting the highest standards of clinical practice and of interdisciplinary clinical and scientific collaboration. Healthy Longevity Medicine is optimizing healthspan by targeting ageing processes across the lifespan

ANZSSFR is a professional, scientific society dedicated to the promotion of clinical, basic and translational research on sarcopenia and frailty in Australia and New Zealand. We aim to disseminate current knowledge of sarcopenia and frailty, along with deepening the understanding of muscle, bone and joint disease. Our research on sarcopenia, osteoporosis and their combination, often culminating in disability and frailty, aims to identify, prevent and treat these conditions with the goal to translate evidence-based research and knowledge into clinical and real-world practice to better support older people in ageing well. We believe that understanding the links between sarcopenia, frailty and osteoporosis assists in designing research and improving interventions in clinical practice that may help older people to reduce their risk of disease and live independently and without disability into old age.ANZSSFR also acts to represent the needs of its members through annual scientific meetings, as well as the wider clinical and lay community through advocacy and interaction with government, key stakeholders and related societies.

Chair of @AgeMelbourne - enhancing healthspan and increasing resilience in most vulnerable ageing individuals.

The Hallmark Ageing Research Initiative draws together research on ageing from across the University of Melbourne so that we can collectively make the most of opportunities and solve challenges associated with ageing. It is an interdisciplinary initiative that focuses on technology, design, health, leadership, demography, ageing in low and middle income countries, and social aspects of ageing across the life course. Over three years the Hallmark initiative has built on the University’s existing research strengths, consolidating and forming new internal and external partnerships in Australia and internationally.http://research.unimelb.edu.au/hallmark-initiatives/ageing-research-initiative#welcome

Major leadership role within Melbourne Health and the University of Melbourne to make major contributions in clinical and academic leadership, research and teaching specifically in the area of General Medicine and Aged Care and more broadly across Clinical Medicine.

As the average human life expectancy has increased, so too has the impact of ageing and age-related disease on our society. Ageing research is now the focus of thousands of laboratories that include leaders in the areas of genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behaviour. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) covers the trends in this field. It is designed to fill a large void, namely, a source for critical reviews and viewpoints on emerging findings on mechanisms of ageing and age-related disease. Rapid advances in understanding of mechanisms that control cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival are leading to new insight into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells to energy and oxyradical metabolism, this is an exciting new era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research. The cellular and molecular underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction, are being identified and novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases are being developed. ARR publishes articles on focussed topics selected from the broad field of ageing research, with an emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process and age-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention are also covered in this journal.https://www.journals.elsevier.com/ageing-research-reviews

The association aims to promote research, co-operation and exchange of information among all those interested in any aspect of cellular senescence. Cellular senescence is a programmed state of stable cell cycle arrest that is accompanied by a complex phenotype. Senescent cells play a role in physiological processes such as tumour suppression, wound healing and embryonic development, whilst paradoxically they can contribute to ageing, cancer and age-related disease.As such, the field of cellular senescence represents a multidisiplinary research topic.

Editor-in-Chief: Tamas Fülöp, Professor of Medicine and Geriatrics, University of SherbrookeThe scope of the journal is to publish articles related to diagnosis and treatment of aging-associated diseases; evaluation and educational aspects of geriatrics; highlights of new discoveries on molecular, cellular and organismal determinants of aging and discovery-driven translational research. These areas are intended to cover all aspects of geriatric medicine and aging research.https://agmr.qingres.com/

Veroudering is een actueel vraagstuk. Iedereen wil zo lang mogelijk gezond blijven. Maar hoe kunnen we onze levensduur verlengen zonder ziek te zijn?In Eeuwig houdbaar neem ik u mee in de wereld van veroudering. Zij beschrijft de oorzaken van veroudering, de stand van de ouderengeneeskunde en wijst ons de weg in de wetenschappelijke ontwikkelingen op dit gebied. En ze maakt haarfijn duidelijk wat we zélf moeten doen om de statistiek te ontstijgen en straks 120 jaar te worden, of nog veel en veel ouder.

Frontiers in Aging is an Open Access journal which publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that contributes to our understanding of the biological mechanism of aging. We also welcome submissions that explore the fundamental link between mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases. Our focus is on human aging, ultimately aiming to improve healthspan in humans; studies on the development of interventions to improve health and quality of life in humans as we age are also welcomed. We are also interested in insights on aging from model organisms that serve to shed light on general aging mechanisms that affect humans.https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/aging#

Ageing of skeletal muscle results in a progressive loss of mobility that decreases the quality of life and has major economic and social consequences for society at large. Increasing muscle weakness is a major component of muscle ageing. In the elderly muscles become atrophic (loss in muscle mass) and weaker (loss in muscle force), more susceptible to damage and consequently regenerate and recover more slowly than was the case in their youth.
