International Consortium to Classify Ageing-Related Pathologies (ICCARP). Advancing the classification of ageing. Funded by @impetusgrants. #aging #geroscience

[ICCARP - Classifying & Staging Senescence @ICCARP_org]

Over 400 ageing researchers. One unified mission.

Today, ICCARP launches its new platform.

The reclassification of ageing begins here: https://t.co/sbAmt2ULmL

🫁 Now published in @LancetLongevity: the @ICCARP_org Respiratory Working Group review on how ageing drives respiratory decline & disease, and why this matters for classification & intervention.

🫀Keeping a young heart… New @ICCARP_org paper in EHJ explores how the myocardium ages - from mitochondrial dysfunction to fibrosis - helping distinguish physiological changes from early disease.

I recently represented @ICCARP_org at a policy event with Andy Street (@Prosper_UK_), discussing the structural challenges of ageing with policymakers & stakeholders.

At ICCARP, we're developing the technical classifications & guidance to tackle ageing-related diseases.

🧠 Is pineal gland senescence an ageing-related pathology?

In this new paper @ICCARP_org review human evidence of structural and functional changes of the pineal gland with age.

Delighted to announce that I will be delivering a keynote at @aging_2026 in Prague on the progress of @ICCARP_org on the classification of ageing-related pathologies and its implications for research and healthcare. Details to follow. @impetusgrants #aging #ageing #senescence

[Barry Bentley, PhD, FRSB @bbentley_1]

As we age, adrenal glands shift gear, making less DHEA/DHEAS & more cortisol (the “stress hormone”).

Linked to dementia, osteoporosis & depression, could this be an ageing-related pathology?

📄New GeroScience paper!🧬
Ageing research needs clear definitions! Our latest work with the ICCARP establishes consensus definitions for senescence - from cells to whole organisms - helping unify terminology. Lots of exciting progress ahead!

📄New policy brief on ageing classification! The ICCARP has submitted a brief to the @UKParliament @CommonsSITC, highlighting the need to classify & stage ageing-related pathologies.

It's a common myth that all life expectancy gains come from reduced infant mortality. While that’s been key, survival has improved at all ages. Those born in 1970 have an annual death rate 11x lower than in 1800. That's an incredible achievement for science!

🎉ICCARP 2024 Wrapped🎉

Thank you to everyone who contributed to International Consortium to Classify Ageing-Related Pathologies in 2024.

The task of systematically classifying ageing-related pathologies is no small feat ... (1/2)

[Barry Bentley, PhD, FRSB @bbentley_1]

🌟Defining Senescence🌟
With 300+ experts working on the ICCARP, we discovered that terms related to ageing were used differently in different fields, causing misunderstandings at times. We’re now thrilled to announce the release of standard definitions for key terms in ageing 1/

[Barry Bentley, PhD, FRSB @bbentley_1]

Congratulations, Gary, on the well-deserved recognition! Thrilled to be working with you and the ICCARP team in transforming international clinical classifications to keep pace with ageing populations -- exciting times ahead!

A significant milestone for ICCARP! The international consensus statement to define an ageing-related pathology is now in print, laying the foundation for the working groups to develop classifications for each organ. Well done to everyone involved! 🥳

The ICCARP is a global consortium working to clinically classify & stage ageing-related pathologies. We have now released a preprint of our first Consensus Statement. Read how we plan to standardise the classification of ageing-related diseases:
