King’s Experts Series: Ageing Well

How is academic research at King’s supporting an ageing population?

Over the last hundred years, humanity has made extraordinary progress in its approaches to healthcare. Advances in the understanding of the human body, medicine, improvements in sanitation, housing and education have all led to an increase in life expectancy almost double that of the early 20th Century. These advances have resulted in more people living into old age and therefore ageing for longer.

However, the successes of the last century have been followed by two decades of decline, with life expectancy now starting to decrease.

It is clear that one of the major challenges of the 21st Century will not just be about stabilising and improving life expectancy, but about ensuring that good health can be supported and maintained throughout our lives, into and during old age.

Our panelists are leading cutting-edge research across a wide range of areas in ageing health at King’s.
