2^nd Aging, Health, Wellness Conference: For a better Aging Care June 22-23, 2020 Abu Dhabi, UAE

Track 1: Evolution of Aging

Aging is a process where there is decrease of reproduction and body functions in adult age. The occurrence of aging is a natural process. The human life expectancy has increased worldwide. The divergence from our recent ancestor evolved to double its previous value. From the last 200 years we can see the substantial increase, about 2.5 years per decade. Environmental changes, improved food, water, hygiene and living conditions reduced infectious diseases with the help of improved medicine, antibiotics and immunization. Modern humans adapt a different environment compared to the past with prevention from infectious diseases and harsh physical conditions. Aging is neither inevitable nor universal. In humans age related changes are well documented and aging has proved to be a complex process of functional decline and diverse pathologies in different tissues. The rate of aging is influenced by genes. Some mechanisms of aging are evolutionarily conserved.

Track 2: Genetics of Aging

Genetics of aging deals with life extension which is associated with genetic alterations leading to changes in lifespan. There is an unprecedented rise in human life expectancy in the past two centuries. Sustaining longer lives will require an understanding of the topics like mechanisms of aging and genetics is considered as a powerful tool for the identification of these mechanisms.     

Track 3: Geriatrics /Gerontology vs Geriatrics

The study that deals with the health care of elderly people is called geriatrics. The aim is to promote better health to the elder people by treating and preventing the diseases and physical problems and disabilities in older adults. Geriatrics is also called as medical gerontology. Gerontology and geriatrics are used often used interchangeably, but there are differences between the two words. Gerontology mainly studies about the biological, cultural, social, cognitive and psychological aspects of ageing, whereas Geriatrics or geriatric medicine is a study that focuses specially on health care of elder people.

Track 4: Effects and Signs of Aging

Most of the people age healthy and comfortably. Such people’s physiologic age will be younger than their chronological age. Other people may experience many physical effects which may affect their healthy aging. Following are the different effects of aging:

• Aging muscles
• Aging bones
• Aging joints
• Dysfunction of immune system

The significant signs of aging appear at the ages 50-60. They are as follows:

• Whitening or greying of hair

Track 5: Aging Disorders

Disorders or diseases which are associated with aging are more likely to appear in early 60’s. The incidence of the following disorders will increase gradually with age. Aging disorders does not refer to childhood diseases like chicken pox but it refers to disorders of elder people. The following are some of the disorders of aging.

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Type 2 diabetes
• Cancer
• Hypertension
• Cardiovascular disease
• Arthritis
• Cataract

Track 6: Anti-Aging Strategies

Aging is a biological process which is unavoidable. For the perception of health in human beings and their well-being, certain anti-aging strategies have been developed.

• Augmentation of autophagy
• Elimination of senescent cells
• Transfusion of plasma from young blood
• Physical exercise
• Antioxidant intake
• Stem cell therapy
• Enhancement of adult neurogenesis

Track 7: Neuroscience of Aging

The study of changes in the nervous system that occur during aging is called neuroscience of aging. The normal functional changes noticed are inability to focus, decrease in processing speed, decreased neural efficiency and nerve conductance. Some of the pathological changes associated with neurology are:

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Stroke
• Parkinson’s disease
• Vascular dementia
• Multiple system atrophy
• Corticobasal degeneration
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
• Dementia with lewy bodies

Track 8: Process of Aging

The process of changes that appear in every human being from infant to old age is known as aging. Several changes of cells, organ systems can be seen. The gradual decrease of body functions is known as aging. 

Track 9: Theories of Aging

Regarding the mechanism of age related changes, there are many theories. All the aging theories  must meet few important criteria. Some of the important topics of theories are that the body’s immune system tends to attack and destroy its own cells due to failure of distinguishing foreign proteins from body’s own proteins. Also, due to repeated cells and tissues they tend to wear out resulting in aging. Occurrence of theory addresses in all human beings is changed by aging. The process is progressive based on time. Some of the theories of aging are:

• Aging by program
• Gene theory
• Auto Immune Theory
• Wear and Tear Theory
• Rate of Living Theory
• Free Radical Theory
• Cross-Linkage Theory

Track 10: Successful Aging

Acquiring freedom from diseases and disabilities, high intellectual and physical functioning and active involvement in happy life leads to a successful aging. Some of the factors for successful aging are happy marriage, greater social support, higher levels of education and more social contacts. The main reasons are low rates of depression and high rates of resilience. Common factors effecting are healthy body mass index, good medical conditions, exercise and better self-rated health. The factors can be categorised into three types.

• Social factors
• Psychological factors
• Physical factors

Track 11:  Life Expectancy

The statistical measure of average time of a person from birth to death is called life expectancy. It is known based on the birth date, current age and demographic factors.

Factors influencing life expectancy:

• Variation of time
• Regional variations
• Sex differences
• Mental illness
• Physical illness

Track 12:  Premature Aging

The phenomenon where a person starts aging earlier than expected age is known as premature aging. There are several factors that effect the premature aging. They are as follows:

• Genes
• Smoking
• Sun exposure
• Sleep habits
• Stress
• Alcohol and caffeine intake
• Environment

Track 13: Rejuvenation

A medical discipline focusing on practicals to reverse aging process is known as rejuvenation. It helps in studying the life extension strategies for opposing the causes in order to slow the aging process. Its main aim is to repair or replace a damaged tissue with a new tissue.

Track 14: Cosmetic Surgery: Face & Body Contouring

Reconstruction, correction or desired changes on different parts of body through plastic surgeries to look younger and beautiful than actual age is called as cosmetic surgery. The trending surgery is the facial cosmetic surgeries which include eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty also called as nose job, facelift, brow lift and cheek augmentation.

Common cosmetic surgeries:

• Facelift
• Breast augmentation
• Hair transplantation
• Tummy tuck
• Liposuction
• Rhinoplasty
• Dermabrasion

Track 15: Identifying Anti Aging Products

The dermatologists mostly recommend the products which contain the following elements like retinoids which contain vitamin A derivatives which promote even skin tone. Peptides repair the damages skin, antioxidants helps in fighting free radicals, hydrochloric acid shea butter and ceramids helps in moisturizing the skin and prevents allergic effects of anti-aging ingredients.

Track 16: Aging- Immune System

The most recognized causes of aging is the decrease in immune system functioning. The elder people are by no means immunodeficient, hence they do not respond efficiently to the antigens. This leads to influenza in people aged 70 years or above.

Effects of aging on immune system:

• Reduced production of B and T cells in bone marrow and thymus.
• Decline in the function of mature lymphocytes
• Decrease in the production of growth hormone
• Immune system stops responding to vaccines
• Gets sick more often
• Fail in wound repair mechanisms
• Anti-microbial immunity is weekend

Track 17: Geroscience

The journal which deals with the study of biology of aging, and chronic age- related diseases and improve the quality of life  and life span of elder people.  It is an international peer which is reviewed every month to show the process of aging and to take certain measures to increase the human life span. Geroscience encourages manuscripts and mechanisms related to aging and chronic age related diseases such as:

• Chronic low-grade inflammation
• Cellular senescence
• Macromolecular damage
• Oxidative- nitrative stress
• Impaired stem cell function and regeneration
• Impaired mitochondrial function
• Cellular metabolism

Track 18: Aging/Geriatric Rehabilitation

The branch of medicine which aims to restore the functional ability and quality of life of the older people suffering with physical impairments or disabilities by knee and hip replacements, the rehabilitation physicians use physical, occupational and speech therapies. Aged people frequently suffer from physical and mental changes.  The important geriatric rehabilitation is communication which acts as a key role. It welcomes studies with experimental approaches which includes investigations using cultured cells. The main aim of geriatric rehabilitation is to increase the life span and the quality of life of aged people.

Track 19: Elder Abuse, Law &Aging

Mistreating elders is known as elder abuse which causes harm to the older persons. There are many circumstances which come under elder abuse. This includes harms caused by people. The older person may know them or shares a relation with them like family member, friend, relative or neighbour and care takers. There are several types of abuses.

• Physical Abuse: slapping, hitting, pushing, improper medication etc.
• Psychological: includes criticizing, blaming, humiliating the person etc.
• Elder Financial Abuse: misappropriation of financial resources by family, strangers or care takers.
• Abandonment: abandoning the person or unattending them for a long period of time by endangering their health.
• Neglect: intentional depriving the person from food, clothing, medical attention, shelter etc.
• Self-Neglect: persons neglecting themselves by not caring about their health, safety which may lead to illness, injury or death. This nature of self-neglect is caused decline of mental awareness.

Track 20: Dermatology

The branch of medicine dealing with skin and skin diseases or skin related problems is called as dermatology. Cosmetic treatments such as facelift, liposuction and blepharoplasty come under cosmetic dermatology. We can find various fields under the branch of dermatology such as Dermatopathology which deals with the study of skin diseases and its effects. Trichology deals with the study of hair loss, hypertrichosis and hair abnormalities. Immunodermatology deals with the study of immune medicated or related skin diseases. Pediatric Dermatology is the study of skin related issues in different age groups. And Dermatoepidemiology deals with the study of skin diseases at population level.

Track 21: Gerascophobia

The fear of aging or growing old is known as Gerascophobia. The symptoms of this problem are as follows:

• Biological failure: People suffering from gerascophobia fear from age-related diseases and fading of their health and beauty. This starts when there is loss of body functionality such as tooth decay, eye sight problems, diabetes, blood pressure and hearing loss.
• Surgery: People undergo plastic surgeries to look younger and wrinkle reduction treatments. This is considered as an early symptom of gerascophobia.
• Fading Sense of purpose: Due to irreversible bad health conditions people tend to fear and lose hope which leads to fading sense of purpose towards life
• Being an easy Crime Target: Elder people are considered as weak and easy targets to get robbed and elder abuse and thievery because of being weaker, slow reactions and less able to defend themselves.
