A platform for those interested in longevity to address abundant opportunities
TARGETING METABESITY 2021 takes on some of the most critical issues in healthcare today:
-
Focusing on chronic (not just acute) diseases
-
Shifting the spotlight beyond treatment to prevention
-
Going beyond disease-by-disease treatments to prevention of multiple diseases by addressing common root causes
-
Shifting from addressing diseases to extending healthy lifespan—healthspan
Metabesity 2021 gathers together stellar speakers from multiple disciplines, including science and medicine, behavioral science, government regulation, policy, reimbursement, industry and capital markets, patient advocacy, boomer and senior lifestyle, digital health.
Targeting Metabesity is an ongoing call to action and a silo-busting conversation for tractable steps today to address major healthcare challenges!
THE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF BILLIONS OF HUMANS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN SAVINGS OPPORTUNITY, ARE AT STAKE.
Expanding evidence supports that the major chronic diseases—cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and the aging process itself—have common metabolic roots and thus may be susceptible to shared solutions. Metabesity names this constellation of conditions.
What is metabesity?
‘Metabesity’ is a term coined by G Alexander Fleming MD to reference the constellation of interconnected diseases with metabolic roots. Targeting these metabolic underpinnings could be a productive approach to delaying, or even preventing, many or most of the chronic diseases of aging.
Our metabolism is comprised of biochemical reactions that keep us alive and work together in a coordinated manner that maintains good health, but as metabolic coordination disintegrates, we start to age. Pair the disintegration with over nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle, and aging becomes the largest risk factor for the majority of chronic, non-communicable diseases.
“The US needs to declare the prevention of chronic disease and extension of healthspan a bipartisan national priority and seek to become a global leader in promoting interventions to increase healthy longevity…” Alexander Flemming
Metabesity encompasses most of the major chronic diseases of our time. Conditions such as diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases have metabolic roots, and may therefore be susceptible to common solutions. Aging itself can be characterised largely as a dismetabolic condition. For example, a common sign of Metabolic discoordination is the build-up of excess visceral fat, which has been found to add to the presence of senescent cells which contribute to aging. The build-up can also cause chronic inflammation and increase the risk of age-related diseases.
Alexander Fleming, MD, and Lawrence Steinman, MD are the co-chairs.
