The Art & Science of Anti-Aging Therapies: Convergence of Theory and Practice
March 18 & 19, 2005
A one and a half day symposium organized jointly by the Institute on Aging and the Edwin and Fannie Gray Hall Center for Human Appearance of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
Recognizing that healthy aging is a product of many inter-related factors including what we eat, how we exercise our bodies and minds, as well as how we look, this symposium sought to provide information that would enable attendees to sort out the most effective and safe treatments from the dubious and perilous “snake oil” and “quick fixes."
This program agenda provides an overview of combined surgical, medical and non-pharmacological approaches to promote healthy aging of the body and mind as well as current information about interventions, procedures and therapies for aging well and a forum for assessing the ethical and economic implications of the upcoming demographic shifts for those who treat and serve this population.
Thank you for your interest.
