Demystifying the Processes of Aging


Tony Agra
Founder
Medica Esthetica medical centre

Hosted by the Insurance & Healthcare Committee

 

Have you or someone you know experienced one or more of the following:


  • Heart Disease
  • Cancer
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Alzheimer’s Disease

If you answered yes, then you have witnessed an example of diseases associated with aging. If you answered yes and the person is approximately your age or even younger, then you also know someone who may have died prematurely. If it was a friend, it may have made you consider your own mortality. If this was a family member, have you wondered whether you, too, are destined to a similar fate?

The chronic diseases of aging are among the greatest challenges facing our country and the health care system. How common are chronic diseases? The findings from a study of Annals of Family Medicine may surprise you. Ninety percent of adults treated by doctors had more than one chronic illness. In addition, nearly half of the patients aged 45 to 64 had five or more chronic conditions. What makes this so tragic is the fact that the overwhelming majority of these conditions could have prevented.

The mission of this seminar is to demystify the processes of aging and give you the knowledge, tools, and skills needed to live the life you have imagined.
