Against the “extend healthspan but not lifespan” cliché

What is the ultimate goal of biogerontology (the study of the biology of aging)? A fashionable answer these days, often encountered, is that it is to extend healthspan not lifespan. Here we argue that this is a misguided cliché.

Association between community toilet deprivation and depression among older adults in India: a multilevel analysis of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India from 2017-2018

Community context is an important determinant of health for older and aging adults. However, much of the research examining these associations has focused on Western contexts.

Age-related differences in neural activity and functional connectivity during self- and other-referential processing: An EEG study

Research on brain aging has largely focused on neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, and other forms of cognitive decline. However, relatively few studies have examined how age affects self-knowledge in healthy older adults.
