Description:	Dr. Robert Fogel of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, the Nobel Lauerate in Economics whose work has revolutionized thinking about the history of health in the US, will appear with colleague Dr. Dora Costa of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to discuss findings with their NIA Program Project grant on the aging process of Union Army veterans This ambitious project links vast amounts of information for a sample of Union Army veterans to allow researchers to study their aging process and compare it to that of later cohorts Drs. Fogel and Costa will present their surprising findings from this study, which reveal a picture of humans today that is vastly different from 100 years ago. They will examine what their research suggests for current and future aging populations – cohorts that today are longer-lived, healthier, more affluent and more urban than their predecessors – and what these trends imply for health, long-term care and social security systems
