SUMMARY:Pioneer Presents: Healthy Ageing Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Every person – in every country in the world – should have the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. \nJoin us for this exciting Pioneer Presents event to hear from experts carrying out cutting-edge research and innovation into healthy ageing\, creating the environments and opportunities that enable people to be and do what they value throughout their lives.  \n  \nLiving well with age-related diseases \nAgeing is a driving factor of various age-related diseases\, including neurodegenerative diseases\, cardiovascular diseases\, cancer\, immune system disorders\, and musculoskeletal disorders.
