Aging

Aging: From Fundamental Biology to Society Impact examines the interconnection of the cellular and molecular basis of aging and societal-based challenges and innovative interventions. The book consists of 4 sections: Section 1 takes a societal-based angle on aging, describing several flagship initiatives for healthy living and active aging in different regions; Section 2 covers the biology of aging which includes the hallmarks of aging; Section 3 explains the pathophysiology of aging, describing different co-morbidities associated to aging and possible interventions to decrease the impact of aging; and Section 4 envisions the future and innovative measures to tackle aging-related morbidities. Contributions from an interdisciplinary panel of experts cover such topics such as the biology of aging to physical activity, nutrition, psychology, pharmacology, health care, social care, and urban planning. Aging: From Fundamental Biology to Society Impact is excellent resource for public health and aging researchers, gerontologists, cellular and molecular biologists, and health and social care providers. Provides a cross-disciplinary approach to aging at both the biological and societal levelHighlights frontline scientific knowledge in biology of aging and its translation into societal interventionsOffers insight on the value of aging research and its future impact not only from a fundamental and translation point of view, but also from the innovation and organizational angle
