Every day 100,000 people die of the effects of old age. Aging is responsible for 90% of deaths in Western countries and two-thirds of deaths in the world.

Aging doesn’t just cause innumerable deaths, it is also the source of many debilitating illnesses like Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular diseases, muscle wasting, decline of vision and hearing, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, …

The only way to prevent these illnesses linked to aging is to attack the root cause – that is aging itself. It is time to start working towards solutions to this universal human tragedy.

Heales raises awareness of new developments in the area of biogerontology (the science of aging). We also promote and support anti-aging research.

Every month Heales collects the most important new research on Longevity and writes the newsletter The death of death (only in French before 2018). Letter of February 2019: Telomeres.

Heales participates in the festival “I love science” in November 2020

Our 2018 European Symposium on Healthy Ageing (EHA) was quite successful. Videos of the event will be available begin 2019.

You can find videos concerning the European Symposium on Healthy Aging of 2016  on our dedicated Youtube channel.
