All of us will age whether we like it or not. What can we do if anything to prevent the process of aging? Or more appropriately, what can be done to slow down the process of aging? Below is a brief post with a video that highlights work being conducted (research and development) to better understand the process of aging in human beings.
The government has an initiative specifically looking at the process of aging. The initiative is actually research which is performed at the National Institute of Aging. Most people are unaware that the government has such a facility solely devoted to the process of aging. Here is a video below taken from an article from the National Institute of Aging website introducing the mission:

1) What is the National Institute on Aging? Learn about the leader in federal research on aging, as well as Alzheimer’s and dementia. https://youtu.be/qMm5renQibo
2) What major advances have we seen in aging & Alzheimer’s research? Find out in this video about the National Institute on Aging at NIH, leading the federal government for research on aging and Alzheimer’s. https://youtu.be/qMm5renQibo
3) Watch this video to learn about research advances supported and conducted by the National Institute on Aging at NIH. https://youtu.be/qMm5renQibo
4) Understanding how we age and what we can do to be as healthy as possible as we grow older is important. Find out in this video how the National Institute on Aging is educating and training the next generation of scientists in aging and dementia research. https://youtu.be/qMm5renQibo
5) The National Institute on Aging at NIH leads the federal effort to study Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Watch this video to learn how research is uncovering effective ways to treat and prevent these disorders. https://youtu.be/qMm5renQibo
Conclusion...
In the event that the public is unaware that the government does perform research on aging along with a whole host of other areas of medicine. My last post was on the initiative -- "All of Us" -- which is the largest clinical study aimed at understanding the variability between different populations along with between genders. All of these initiatives along with other basic research funding initiatives (outside of government -- academia, private sector, etc.) make the vast amount of research results cover a wide range of aspects of life. Stay tuned for more results and highlights to come.
