Overview:
This course will cover the basic elements of aging biology in dogs, focusing on mechanisms that lead to aging-associated disease and potential targets for therapeutic interventions. We will explore the concept of aging as a modifiable risk factor for common diseases occurring in older dogs and look at existing and future preventive medicine options that can slow the aging process and extend healthy lifespan by delaying disease and preserving good quality of life.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will learn the fundamentals of aging biology and how it increases our canine patients’ vulnerability to disability, disease, and death
Attendees will become familiar with examples of key aging processes, such as metabolic dysfunction and frailty, and how these are detected and measured
The course will introduce existing and potential tools for slowing aging and extending canine lifespan and healthspan
