Why do people age differently?

Science shows aging is shaped by genetics, lifestyle, and environment — and it’s more adaptable than once believed.

At AGE, we support research that helps improve health across the lifespan.

#AgingScience #GeroScience #Longevity #AGE

You might be happier than you think — especially as you age 😊

📊 Gallup: Happiness increases after age 50
📊 Merrill Lynch: 70% of adults 65+ feel relaxed most of the time
(Only 41% of ages 25–34 say the same)

Aging isn’t decline — it’s perspective.
