The world's population over the age of 60 is expected to reach approximately 2 billion over the next three decades. As age is the main risk factor for several diseases, understanding what happens as one ages and how to prevent and/or identify earlier biomarkers of the transition from healthy to unhealthy aging is important for personal and societal well-being. This course will examine biological, psychological, social, and cultural aspects of aging. With a focus on biological and psychological factors, we will explore changes in cognition, personality, emotion, and decision making in the context of healthy aging. We will also consider how age-associated diseases affect these processes and alter the trajectory of healthy aging.
