Congress in Frankfurt: Longevity Trend: Can we stop ageing?
In Frankfurt, around 1,000 medical professionals specialising in ageing and ageing researchers will meet from Wednesday. One topic of the congress is the search for eternal life.
Prof. Michael Denkinger, president of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geriatrie (DGG), criticizes the trend of Longevity, which aims to biologically delay aging. He argues that aging itself is not a disease and that there is no scientific evidence to support products and strategies claiming to prolong life or reverse aging. Denkinger emphasizes that a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, good nutrition, and social connections, is key to living a long and healthy life.
The DGG is holding a congress in Frankfurt from September 23-26, where experts will discuss topics such as Alzheimer therapies, climate change, and new technologies in elderly care.
