The American Aging Association (AGE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study of the biology of aging and the promotion of research aimed at understanding the processes of aging and age-related diseases. Founded in 1970, the organization brings together researchers, clinicians, and other professionals interested in the field of gerontology.

Mission[edit]

The mission of the American Aging Association is to promote biomedical and clinical research that will lead to a better understanding of the biological mechanisms of aging and to the development of interventions that can improve the quality of life for older adults.

Activities[edit]

The American Aging Association conducts a variety of activities to support its mission, including:

  • Organizing annual scientific meetings and conferences where researchers can present their latest findings and discuss new ideas.
  • Publishing the journal GeroScience, which features original research articles, reviews, and commentaries on topics related to aging.
  • Providing grants and awards to support innovative research in the field of aging.
  • Offering educational programs and resources for researchers, clinicians, and the general public.

Membership[edit]

Membership in the American Aging Association is open to anyone with an interest in the biology of aging. Members include scientists, clinicians, educators, and students from a wide range of disciplines, including molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, and medicine.

Annual Meeting[edit]

The American Aging Association holds an annual meeting that serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new research findings. The meeting includes keynote lectures, symposia, poster sessions, and networking opportunities. It is attended by researchers from around the world and provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and the establishment of collaborations.

Publications[edit]

The official journal of the American Aging Association is GeroScience, which publishes peer-reviewed research articles on the biology of aging and age-related diseases. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging, the genetics of aging, and interventions that may extend lifespan and improve healthspan.
