Health and Aging Trajectories: Shared and Competing Risks and Resiliencies for Chronic Diseases Associated with Aging

  • Day 1: Thursday, September 28, 2023 - 9:30am EDT to 5:30pm EDT
  • Day 2: Friday, September 29, 2023 - 9:00am EDT to 5:00pm EDT

On September 28 - 29, 2023, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) convened a 2-day virtual workshop open to the public on the topic: “Health and Aging Trajectories: Shared and Competing Risks & Resiliencies for Chronic Diseases Associated with Aging”.

The conference assembled experts from multiple disciplines to discuss our current understanding of risk factors and processes associated with distinct aging trajectories driven by different major chronic diseases, which hallmarks may predict onset of disease versus disease outcomes, and how this knowledge may help identify strategies for intercepting, preventing, and reducing the risk of age-related chronic diseases and extending the healthspan.

Four scientific sessions were prefaced by introductory remarks by National Institutes of Health (NIH) Leadership from the NHLBI Division of Cardiovascular Sciences, NCI Division of Cancer Prevention, NINDS Division of Neuroscience, and NIA Division of Aging Biology and invited keynote lectures.
