Neurodegenerative Disorders and Aging: Exploring the Connection and Interventions

As the global population ages, the prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, continues to rise. This session aims to explore the intricate connection between neurodegenerative disorders and aging, as well as interventions to promote healthy aging and mitigate the impact of these disorders.

During this session, experts will present the latest research findings on the relationship between neurodegenerative disorders and the aging process. They will discuss the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the increased susceptibility to neurodegeneration in older adults, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular aging. Presentations will also focus on interventions and lifestyle factors that have been shown to promote healthy brain aging and potentially reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disorders. These may include physical exercise, cognitive stimulation, social engagement, and a healthy diet. Experts will discuss the evidence supporting these interventions and their potential mechanisms of action.Furthermore, discussions will revolve around emerging therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative disorders, including disease-modifying drugs, gene therapies, and regenerative medicine approaches. Experts will highlight the latest advancements in these fields and their potential to slow disease progression and improve quality of life for affected individuals.

By attending this session, researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals will gain valuable insights into the connection between neurodegenerative disorders and aging. They will be updated on the latest research, interventions, and therapeutic strategies aimed at promoting healthy brain aging and mitigating the impact of neurodegenerative disorders. The session aims to inspire collaboration, foster innovative research, and ultimately improve the understanding and management of neurodegenerative disorders in aging populations.
