is a non-profit organization dedicated to examining the aging process of physiological and functional changes in the human body that accumulate over time. The accrual of which, both individually and collectively, contribute to decline and ultimately lead to death.
One of the leading causes of death is age-related diseases, such as heart failure, dementia, atrial fibrillation, fractures due to osteoporosis, and pneumonia due to a declining immune system, just to name a few. While the pathology of these diseases are well understood, it is unclear how these risk factors contribute to the aging process.
ViAging’s mission is to better understand the biological aging process, to develop interventions that may increase health span in humans, and to alleviate other biological indicators of age-related diseases.
The yearly death rates in 2018 for people over the age of 65 was approximately 1,800 deaths per 100,000 and nearly 14,000 per 100,000 for those over the age of 85. The main risk factor identified in older adults is a shorter life expectancy due to the development of multiple age-related diseases.
Investigating the factors of aging and the interventions that may modulate the aging process, has the potential to impact lives and may extend health span.
