What can we do, today, to improve muscle strength and, accordingly, to increase healthy longevity, i.e., healthspan? It starts by understanding the science of strength and of muscle function, and then appreciating how muscle changes with aging. Ultimately, we find that healthspan increases with simple and effective evidence-based strategies for improving muscle health and function.
Our speaker, Dr. Greg Tranah, PhD, is Professor of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at UC San Francisco. He is also Senior Scientist at California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute. Dr. Tranah’s research program focuses on identifying inherited and acquired genetic factors that impact aging and disease. In his current work he leads research teams engaged in genetic studies of aging and age-related conditions including dementia, cancer, mobility-disability, sarcopenia, heart and kidney disease.
