Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Healthy Aging

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Our population is aging as our life expectancy increases with time. In general, we’re living longer than those before us. Aging is an interesting concept; we all want to achieve old age, but it’s not something we look forward to. What we really want is to maintain our physical, mental and social well-being in order to achieve a high quality of life as we age. I’m talking about healthy aging and that’s the topic of this podcast. What degree of healthy aging is due to genetic factors vs. intentional choices we make during our life? Which lifestyle behaviors are most important in achieving healthy aging, and what can we learn from those who have lived exceptionally long lives? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. Robert Pignolo, an internist and named professor of geriatric medicine in the Center of Aging at the Mayo Clinic.

This episode of Mayo Clinic Talks is the second of three podcasts celebrating a remarkable milestone in Mayo Clinic’s history – the 100th anniversary in April this year of our renowned journal, Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Proceedings first appeared in April 1926 and has been in continuous publication ever since. Many significant clinical breakthroughs, pioneered at Mayo Clinic, were first published in the journal, and today the journal brings primary care providers relevant, timely, and important papers on conditions and disorders that are frequently seen in the practice. A great deal of content in Mayo Clinic Proceedings is freely available for you to browse—just go to https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org to incorporate this terrific resource in your library.
