Overview
This reports on the latest research topics announced by the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology.
Innovative research results are being created across wide-ranging research fields from basic research to clinical applications related to healthy longevity for elderly people. Major research areas include elucidation of aging mechanisms, prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases, pathological elucidation and treatment method development for dementia, and improvement of rehabilitation technology for elderly people.
Particularly, molecular biological analysis of aging genes, identification of healthy longevity factors based on epidemiological surveys, and efficacy verification of new treatment methods through clinical trials are actively conducted, with translational research that returns basic research results to clinical settings being prioritively promoted. Research results are widely disseminated to society through international academic journal publications, conference presentations, and patent applications, contributing to realizing healthy longevity society.
