Anti-Aging Congress in Chicago
Greetings,
On August 2-4 there was an interesting A4M Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies in Chicago. It brought together several thousand physicians, researchers and lay persons, curious to know what could be done in order to delay, prevent and perhaps even to reverse the deleterious effects of aging on human health.
It was particularly interesting to listen the lecture by Dr. Imre Zs.- Nagy there, who is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of a professional peer-reviewed journal "Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics" (Elsevier), and the author of over a hundred scientific publications. Dr. Zs.-Nagy gave a talk on the following topic:
"Aging is an Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency Syndrome (AGHDS):
Given a lot of hot debates over human growth hormone and its use in anti-aging medicine, this lecture was quite an event. It indicates that some mainstream gerontologists may finally embrace the idea that human growth hormone deficiency may perhaps be the driving force of the aging process, with obvious practical implications for the future anti-aging interventions.
Stay tuned, and watch for subsequent scientific publications on this topic by Dr. Zs.-Nagy and his colleagues, which are likely to follow soon!
By the way, new books on human growth hormone are listed here.
The Congress also had a very rich exhibition of different health-related products, including diagnostics and treatment of age-related conditions, as well as a display of dietary supplements, numerous massage and spa devices, etc.
Certainly a critical judgement was necessary in evaluating the claims made by some exhibitors there (as well as by some speakers). Also this meeting was more for practicing physicians rather than for research scientists. Still it was fun to be there, and to observe how many people are interested in anti-aging interventions and are ready to try them.
