  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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.",
