Aging is not a disease for which scientists seek a cure. But each of us, if we take time to think about it, has a vision for our later years – hoping to stay physically healthy, mentally sharp and independent for as long as possible. Finding solutions to the health challenges facing older adults and the people who love them is the mission of the UAB Comprehensive Center for Healthy Aging. Through the Center, UAB physicians, scientists and others from a wide range of disciplines – medicine, engineering, nursing, psychology, nutrition science, to name a few – collaborate on projects aimed at making life better and lives healthier for older adults.
