F2C. Aging Successfully: Evidence-Based Strategies
Personal Growth | Registration opens 2/25/2026 9:00 AM
Aging is an inevitable process. Its outcome can vary widely, ranging from poor to successful. Successful aging is defined as being healthy and functional in the last decade of life. One consequence of aging is the decline of functional capacity—both physical and cognitive. Another consequence is the increasing risk of age-related diseases—cardiovascular disease, cancer, and dementia. This course will review scientific evidence of the two most effective means to improve the outcome of aging—adequate physical exercise and sound nutrition. Specific measures on how best to achieve exercise and dietary goals will also be discussed in depth.
