SUMMARY:AGBC Munich Monthly Event: Advancing Through Life - Successful Agin
 g
DESCRIPTION:\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Karin VanMeter\, Iowa State University (retire
 d)\, Lecturer Biomedical Sciences at the Austrian Biotech University of Ap
 plied Sciences\, and Independent Consultant\n\nWhat is Successful Aging? A
 ging is the process of becoming older. It is associated with time-related 
 changes of physiological and anatomical properties of the body. We all age
  – thus aging is a topic in all parts of life\, including social\, econo
 mic\, medical\, and commercial aspects. Undoubtedly\, with increasing age 
 an accumulation of health- related challenges and social issues/stressors 
 will occur. The goal of most humans is to age well – how do we define 
 ‘good’ or ‘successful’ aging? What are the parameters\, how can th
 ey be achieved\, and what can we do to enjoy aging? (Yes\, we can!) This p
 resentation will discuss theories of aging\, genetics and aging\, reverse 
 aging\, health and aging\, as well as the commercialization of aging. Furt
 hermore\, current research and insides on how ‘aging well’ can be acco
 mplished will be presented.\n\nDr. Karin VanMeter studied Biology at the P
 aris-Lodron University of Salzburg where she received her doctorate in 197
 8. Her research and extensive training in scanning and transmission electr
 on microscopy led to a postdoctoral position with a leading scientist at I
 owa State University of Science and Technology (USA). Dr. VanMeter then wo
 rked at the University of Maryland Medical School for four years\, at whic
 h time she discovered changes in the ultrastructure of neurons in the hipp
 ocampus spiking her interest in neuronal aging and neuropathology of neuro
 ns. After returning to Iowa State University Dr. VanMeter then took a posi
 tion as the Director of the Geriatric Research and Education Center at the
  Des Moines University of Osteopathic Medicine. In 2004 she returned as a 
 lecturer to the Department of Biomedical Sciences in the College of Veteri
 nary Medicine at Iowa State. During her career Dr. VanMeter developed an A
 lzheimer’s discussion group at the University of Maryland Medical School
 \, a course in the Biology of Aging for undergraduate students at the Des 
 Moines Area Community College\, and a graduate on-line course in the Biolo
 gical Principals of Aging at Iowa State University.\n\nDr. VanMeter retire
 d early and came back to Austria to aid in the care for her mother. During
  this time she started and is continuing as a guest lecturer at the Austri
 an Biotech University of Applied Sciences\, and also is giving presentatio
 ns in the field of neuroscience and aging.
