Proceedings of the II National Congress on Aging Sciences

PURPOSE OF THE EVENT

Longevity has been a significant achievement of humanity in recent times. Advances in medicine, better living conditions, access to food and drinking water, as well as greater awareness about health care, have helped people live longer. However, it is important to mention that longevity also presents challenges and demands that require in-depth studies and multi-professional approaches, in addition to the implementation of appropriate policies and services to meet the needs of the elderly population.

São Judas Tadeu University (USJT) has generated knowledge and educational interventions in response to the needs of the elderly population. Several projects of the interdisciplinary Aging Sciences Program have been developed within three lines: diseases associated with aging; health and functionality in aging and educational, psychological and sociocultural aspects of aging.

The purpose of this congress will be to bring together experts, researchers, health professionals and other interested parties to discuss and share knowledge about human aging. Promote the exchange of scientific and practical information related to aging, covering a wide range of topics, such as health care, quality of life, public policies, psychological and social aspects, among others.

During the congress, participants have the opportunity to present and discuss recent research, discoveries and innovations in the field of aging, allowing knowledge to be updated and experiences to be exchanged among professionals.

These events are important for the advancement of science and the development of strategies and policies that promote healthy and quality aging in Brazil. They are also opportunities to strengthen collaboration networks between researchers, health professionals and institutions, aiming to improve care and services aimed at the elderly population.
