Check out @WIRED's latest video: @Danbelsky with answers to your longevity questions like which aging treatment will be first to go mainstream? Does exercise increase longevity? How about sleep? CAC faculty member Dan weighs in: https://t.co/XavaFpiyDs @Columbia @ColumbiaMSPH

.@NYT Michelle Cottle, has a featured opinion piece on caregiving -- a call to arms to legislators nationwide: https://t.co/2LXXkV1JXg

How we define ageing will shape the future of medicine. @ColumbiaAging scientists say the way we classify #ageing could accelerate new treatments, reshape regulation, and change how we view older adults. @cusciofhealth https://t.co/mgKUXEFz9g

So what do you think about aging being framed as a disease? CAC scientists weigh in: https://t.co/kWRuP7uZag #re-reframingaging

Science is getting closer to slowing aging, but the best #longevity tools are still the basics: sleep, diet, and exercise. Nobel Laureate Venki Ramakrishnan joined Columbia Mailman to explain how biology, behavior, and purpose shape how long we live. @ColumbiaAging

Mind and metabolism are more connected than we thought. @Columbia researchers found that FGF21, a key metabolic hormone, also responds to psychological stress—revealing new links between mental health and aging. @cusciofhealth @ColumbiaMed https://t.co/Kq7HT5qEQl

New ASPPH report led by Dean Linda Fried calls for Public Health 4.0—a bold shift from disease care to health promotion. Healthy longevity = longer, purposeful lives & a $38T opportunity. #Aging isn’t decline—it’s potential. @ColumbiaAging #PublicHealth

New in @NatureAging: “Inflammaging” may be a symptom of industrialized life, not #aging itself. @ColumbiaAging study finds Indigenous populations don’t show the same age-related inflammation seen in Italy or Singapore. Environment Matters. @cusciofhealth

New @ColumbiaAging research reframes health: Instead of treating disease, what if we could measure and support health itself? “Intrinsic Health” offers a biological foundation to help people thrive across the lifespan. A game-changer for #PublicHealth. https://t.co/IQEOwuLDmT

[ColumbiaPublicHealth @ColumbiaMSPH]

What drives aging—biology or experience? Both. @ColumbiaAging’s new Pace of Aging method shows how life events like retirement accelerate aging—offering insights to improve global health and policy. @NatureAging

Thanks @ColumbiaMSPH for this reference to our new work. A newly refined method for measuring the Pace of Aging in population-based studies is proposed here; Check out the paper https://t.co/wdtqZciQ2S @NatureAging @Danbelsky @VSkirbekk @ColumbiaAging

@LancetRH_Americ @ColumbiaAging Great writeup from @ColumbiaMSPH about this emerging research, which shows that several well-established risk factors and blood biomarkers are linked to cognitive function even before midlife!👇#PublicHealthMatters https://t.co/FH0jhTgceX

[ColumbiaPublicHealth @ColumbiaMSPH]

Can biology improve politics? New research from @ColumbiaAging explains how the human body offers a powerful analogy for organizing complex decision-making, which could open the door to more adaptive political systems.

New work promises we could intervene to prevent Alzheimer's disease earlier than waiting for symptoms to arise -- research from faculty member Allison Aiello and center members Rebecca Stebbins, Yuan Zhang + Adina Zeki Al Hazzouri. #Columbia #PublicHealthMatters @ColumbiaMSPH

[ColumbiaPublicHealth @ColumbiaMSPH]

Findings from a new study show Alzheimer’s-related biomarkers are linked to cognitive function decades before symptoms appear, highlighting the urgent need for prevention strategies well before middle age. @ColumbiaAging #Alzheimers

A fresh approach to dining for older New Yorkers from @nycaging now includes pop-up cafés in “food deserts” with extended meal hours and menu options to appeal to each neighborhood plus activities promoting social engagement. ⏬⏬ https://t.co/0EdQi5SUCj

Fellow New Yorkers -- have you been touched by Alzheimer's Disease? To understand the needs of New Yorkers who are connected to Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), @nychealthy needs your help with an assessment survey: https://t.co/jJ0ROfXjwp
