The Healthy Longevity Medicine Society (HLMS) was launched at this year’s ARDD meeting.
Aims to make the field of longevity medicine a respected and independent medical speciality.
Founding council members, including professors Andrea Britta Maier, Evelyne Yehudit Bischof, Nir Barzilai, James Kirkland, Harold Pincus and Thomas Rando.
“Currently in medicine, we are treating patients when it’s too late, when traditional age-related diseases have already occurred" - says Maier.
“Physicians are very often still not aware of what’s going on in the [longevity] field" - observes Bischof.
Getting longevity recognised as a specialty area of medicine is the initial goal.
