Panel Discussion - The Science of Ageing and Longevity

Australians are living longer. The whole nation is ageing. But how we age is not just a matter for senior citizens. The latest research shows that making the right lifestyle choices when we are young increases the chances of a healthy old age. And the findings are remarkably consistent. It’s all based around exercise, diet, sleep and social connections.

Join us for a panel discussion featuring some of the authors of our latest Science Victoria edition, The Changing Scence of Ageing and Longevity, as they discuss the science of longevity and how to age well.
