Healthy cardiovascular ageing
A new focus on 鈥榟ealthspan鈥� in biomedical research puts a different spin on how we might understand our bodies as we age. Our healthspan is the portion of lifespan associated with good health and function.聽How can we preserve heart health better during our healthspan, and even extend our healthspan? What kinds of lifestyle habits help to maintain cardiovascular function, and what can we do to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases?
Cardiovascular disease 鈥� a term that encompasses聽heart, stroke, and聽blood vessel diseases聽鈥� affects , and most risk factors are preventable. Ageing is the primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In the last ten years, death from cardiovascular disease has been declining due to research into risk factors and other interventions. Even so, cardiovascular disease remains one of the most prevalent health issues in Australia.
Professor Seals' research focuses on聽identifying the specific changes in cardiovascular system function that leads to increases in cardiovascular disease risk with ageing, and explores the reasons that contribute to age-related declines in cardiovascular function. His research also considers the different ways we can support our own heart health.聽
The Nicholas Catchlove Lecture 2022, presented by Professor Seals, will be followed by a panel discussion on healthy ageing with:
