Abstract

The article discusses the field of geroscience, which focuses on understanding the biology of aging and developing interventions to improve health and quality of life as people age. The article highlights the goals and opportunities discussed at the Fourth Geroscience Summit, including addressing health disparities in aging, ensuring inclusion of diverse populations in research, exploring interventions for chronic disease patients and survivors, developing research models to understand multimorbidity, identifying aging-related health outcome measures, and validating predictive biomarkers of aging. The article emphasizes the need for clear communication and training in geroscience to integrate its perspectives into medical practice and improve the treatment of age-related diseases.
