Noon - Welcome and Keynote Presentation
S. Jay Olshansky, Ph.D. - Aging, Health and Longevity in the 21st Century
The first longevity revolution began more than a century ago, and the gift humanity gave to itself as a result was 30 years of added life—from 50 to 80. The tradeoff was a rise in aging-related diseases like cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Olshansky will explain why humans live as long as we do, and why this new effort to slow aging represents a shift in public health that should benefit generations to come.
S. Jay Olshansky, Ph.D. is a faculty member at the School of Public Health, University of Illinois at Chicago, Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Named a Next Avenue Influencer in Aging, Dr. Olshansky researches upper limits to human longevity; health and public policy implications associated with individual and population aging.
