Aging involves an intrinsic and progressive decline in function that eventually will affect all living organisms. The course will explore the basic biological changes during aging, the current theories of aging, and the development of age-related diseases. We will also discuss interventions that promote healthy aging and prevent age-related diseases. Students will be able to apply this knowledge to promote healthy aging and make informed decisions on lifestyle choices.
