Glossary of Relevant Terms

Geroscience	Research focus premised on the concept that the physiology of aging plays a determinant role in chronic diseases as well as geriatric syndromes. Related assumptions are that are common therapeutic approaches to prolong life and moderate chronic diseases as well as geriatric syndromes.
Lifespan	Duration of life for a species or subgroup within a species.
Healthspan	Duration of life spent in good health, free from the chronic diseases and disabilities of aging.
Hallmarks of aging	Cellular biologic processes that are manifest with aging and that interact in various combinations within each adult to modify lifespan and healthspan.
Resilience	The intrinsic capacity to tolerate stresses including molecular, cellular, and systems mechanisms.
Geriatric syndrome	Health impairments that do not fit into discrete disease categories. Multimorbidity and frailty are common geriatric syndromes, with high prevalence in older adults with cardiovascular disease.
