Workshop Report—Heterogeneity and Successful Aging Part I: Heterogeneity in Aging—Challenges and Opportunities
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Historically, aging research has focused primarily on the study of differences in means of varied measures obtained at different ages. However, growing evidence has shown that for many parameters, variability in measurements obtained both between- and within-age groups increases with aging. Moreover, growing heterogeneity may become especially apparent when examined via longitudinal as opposed to cross-sectional aging data. Efforts to deconvolute and better understand such heterogeneity present remarkable translational opportunities for developing targeted and more effective interventions into aging. Here, we present Part I, a summary of the NIA Heterogeneity and Successful Aging workshop virtually held in May 2023.
