Decoding aging: Can science push human lifespan beyond limits?

Nature Index: Aging

This November, Nature Index has a new supplement focused on one of the most transformative areas of science today: aging research.

As global populations grow older, the demand for innovative solutions to extend healthy lifespans and reduce age-related diseases is accelerating. The Nature Index: Aging offers editorial comment, ranking data, and partner articles on the topic, including:

• The wave of research raising hopes for a longer life
• Why some researchers think we may be nearing a revolutionary leap in longevity
• Is aging a medical condition?

Nature Forum: Measuring Healthy Aging

In the same month, we brought the discussion on ageing science to life at the Nature Forum: Measuring Healthy Aging, a 2-day event organized by the Nature Aging journal in partnership with Khalifa University. The forum gathered global experts to explore the latest research on healthy aging and foster consensus-building and forward-looking discussions.
