Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is organizing a research workshop titled “Health and Aging Trajectories: Shared and Competing Risks and Resiliencies for Chronic Diseases Associated with Aging” on September 28 and 29, 2023. The workshop is a collaboration between staff from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institute of Aging (NIA), the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and the NIH Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives/ Office of Dietary Supplements (DPCPSI/ODS), in coordination with the Trans-NIH Health and Aging Trajectories (HAT) Working Group. This workshop is hosted by NHLBI.
The workshop will highlight state-of-the-art knowledge from various disciplines exploring potential shared and competing risks and resiliencies influencing aging processes and major diseases of aging, and essential molecular pathways and processes that may be harnessed for disease prevention, interception, and management. It will also increase public knowledge and awareness of chronic age-related diseases, their molecular and cellular mechanisms, shared and competing disease risks, and strategies to prevent disease outcomes.
Scientific Sessions
- Do we age differently? How the aging process can increase the risk for diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases.
- Molecular and cellular mechanisms of chronic age-related diseases.
- Identifying and managing shared and competing disease risks.
- Quo Vadis: increasing resilience, preventing, and intercepting disease outcomes.
