Ageing studies

Aging studies are when scientists look at how processes in the body change as people get older. Scientists do aging studies to learn more about what happens in bodies as people get older, and to see if they can find out ways to make people healthier as they get older. This can include things like looking at how the heart works in different people of different ages, or how muscles change with age. Scientists might also look at how diet, exercise and activity levels change over time, and how these things affect aging. By studying aging in people, scientists hope to find ways to help keep people healthy and active as they get older.
