But\, while we’ve added years to life we haven’t always made those extra years healthy and vigorous. Eighty percent of seniors have at least one major chronic condition\, and half have two or more. Chronic diseases of later life cost our nation more than $1 trillion per year and will increase to $6 trillion by 2050. \nA new frontier in science is revealing the “problem behind the problem” of chronic disease. “Geroscience” is the study of how the underlying processes of aging itself put us at risk to develop chronic disease. And it is on its way to modifying those processes through new medical strategies that could benefit millions. \nLiz Seegert\, AHCJ’s topic leader on aging\, will discuss this new frontier and efforts to improve the quality of those later years with Sue Peschin\, M.H.S.\, the  president and CEO of the Alliance for Aging Research. \nHow to participate\n \nClick here\, choose “Enter as a Guest\,” type in your name and click on the “Enter Room” button. There will be time to ask questions of the speaker after her presentation. \nAbout the speaker\nSue Peschin\, M.H.S.\, is president and CEO of the Alliance for Aging Research\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the pace of scientific discoveries and their application to vastly improve the universal human experience of aging and health. It believes advances in research help people live longer\, happier\, more productive lives and reduce health care costs over the long term and that access to the latest scientific information empowers people to take control of their health.
