Description:	“Advances in Geroscience: Impact on Healthspan and Chronic Disease” is a scientific summit bringing together 50 renowned investigators to examine how the basic biology of aging drives chronic disease. With aging known to be the single biggest risk factor for the development of non-genetic chronic diseases, a better understanding of this interplay should open up new avenues for prevention and cures. The meeting reflects the emergence of the concept of “geroscience,” which features an integrated approach to the study of diseases and disability associated with growing older.
