Alzheimer’s & Diseases of Aging

Growing older is a fact of life, but everyone wants to spend their “golden” years healthy and productive. But along with extra candles on the birthday cake comes a higher risk of developing diseases like Alzheimer’s, sarcopenia (muscle wasting), hearing loss and vision problems like age-related macular degeneration. Scientists at OMRF study these and other conditions that arise as we age in hopes of expanding the length and quality of our healthspans.
