Presentation Description / Summary: This presentation will provide an overview of how we can utilize biogerontolgy (the biological studies of aging) as an approach to understand why aging-related diseases develop and how we can use nutritional approaches to delay the occurrence and/or improve treatment outcomes.
Learner Outcomes:
After participating in this presentation, learners should be better able to:
1. Describe the benefits and limitations of various fasting methods.
2. Summarize how nutrient-sensing pathways can delay ageing.
3. Explain how modulating nutrient-sensing pathways can improve treatment outcomes in age-related conditions.
4. Translate pre-clinical studies on fasting to clinical application for the management of age-related diseases
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the benefits and limitations of various fasting methods.
Upon completion, participants will be able to summarize how nutrient-sensing pathways can delay aging and explain how modulating nutrient-sensing pathways can improve treatment outcomes in age-related conditions.
Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the driving principles in translating pre-clinical studies on fasting to clinical applications for the management of age-related diseases.
