  • “The challenge of aging well.”

Gives the Dr. Elena Lobo School, professor of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at the University of Zaragoza. Researcher at the Aragón Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón). Researcher at the Mental Health Network Biomedical Research Center (CIBERSAM).

Today, most people live to be seventy or older. Although it is often assumed that increased longevity comes with more years of good health, the reality is that The data does not suggest that today's older people have better health than their parents at the same age. On the other hand, we have more evidence than ever about the factors that affect health in advanced age. Most health problems in the elderly are the result of chronic diseases that can be prevented or, at least, delay. We know that the Healthy Habits are associated with lower risk of disease throughout life, but there is also evidence about the benefits of, for example, healthy nutrition, physical activity or carrying out activities that stimulate cognition, at very advanced ages. On the other hand, the physical and social environments that people inhabit They also have an impact on health, either directly or indirectly through obstacles or incentives that affect opportunities, decisions and behavior. The most recent scientific research provides us with some keys in this regard and everything indicates that the challenge of aging well is not only an individual issue but also a matter for society as a whole.
