BOSTON - Genetics researchers say they are closer to developing new drugs to help older people too.
But two tested methods - exercise and good nutrition - continue to get the most expert of Bravo aging to improve the health and quality of life through the 64th Gerontological Society of America Annual Conference
This is all good news for the heels of census data shows Americans live in 90 years and has since tripled in the last three decades, nearly 2 million and is likely to quadruple by 2050. Being healthy can remain independent and at home.
"It can never be too late to change habits of a lifetime," says Dennis Villareal, an associate professor of medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
A study by Villareal, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March found the diet and exercise, as well as improved performance by 21% of obese older adults. The lack of mobility in older obese adults puts them at increased risk of developing hypertension, diabetes and heart disease.
Exercise, combined with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, fish and healthy fats, more life showed a decrease in the chances of developing diseases of aging, including cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
Marco Pahor, director of the University of Florida Institute on Aging warns that researchers must also know if sedentary people can begin to exercise safely. "Is it a cardiovascular risk?" He asks.
Pahor, trying to understand. He is to oversee $ 60 million study examines the long-term effects of structured exercise significant mobility disabilities. Its researchers have examined the effects of physical activity decline in cognitive function, serious injury, disability in daily life, cardiovascular events, and access to hospitals and nursing homes.
The study follows a pilot program that was the intervention study showing first the risk factors for people with disabilities such as loss of muscle mass can be changed.
Millions of dollars are also used in genetic research. "Maybe in five years if the work of clinical trials process, there will be drugs on the market that can treat chronic diseases of aging," says David Sinclair, a researcher at the Department of Genetics Harvard Medical School.
This does not make us live longer? Most hormone therapies is too dangerous, experts say. In addition, everything that promises to make you live to 120 to 150 years.
"It's the chatter and cause a financial loss and physical," said Tom Perls, director of the study of New England Centenarian.
