This report is the outcome of a two-day multi-disciplinary workshop where a select group of highly distinguished scientists met to discuss the current status of biomedical aging research and identify promising research areas which could be the foundation for the medical advances that would prevent, delay, and even reverse the adverse effects associated with aging. The report calls for an increase in funding for biomedical research on the mechanisms of aging and the causes of age-related diseases as a means to help people lead longer, healthier lives and reduce the health care costs associated with the unprecedented burgeoning aging population.
