Vitality in Aging Research Group, Inc. (VIAging) is a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating the health, well-being, and aging of older adults and the factors that may contribute to and accelerate the aging process. One of the leading causes of death is aging and age-related diseases such as heart failure, dementia, atrial fibrillation, fractures due to osteoporosis, pneumonia due to a declining immune system, just to name a few. Yet, many of the risk factors contributing to aging are poorly understood. VIAging’s mission is to better understand what drives aging and by doing so discover the mechanisms that may allow humans to slow or even reverse the processes of aging. By identifying biological markers of aging and healthy lifestyle traits, researchers may be able to identify effective strategies and possible interventions to reduce age-related diseases and conditions which contribute to aging and may ultimately cause death.
