- Dr. Mehrdad Ayati has identified eight critical challenges that currently face the aging population. Join Us at the Club for a discussion on healthy aging and Dr. Ayati’s proposed solutions to these critical challenges.
Topics will include global aging trends and demographics, overmedications, inappropriate use of vitamins and supplements to stay young, promoting healthy aging rather than just a diagnostic system, and lack of training in health care. Plus, what are the lessons that we have learned from the pandemic? How will it affect the future of our aging population?
Dr Ayati is well-known nationally and internationally in the field of geriatric medicine, as a physician, speaker, author, and an educator. As the medical advisor to the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, he raises awareness and provides advice on aging and challenges faced by the aging population in the United States. Dr. Ayati is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of General Medicine, Open Access, and co-author of Paths to Healthy Aging. He is currently a member of the Ethnogeriatric and Quality & Policy Performance Committees of the American Geriatrics Society.

12/8/22. 9:52 PM. Dr Ayati was enlightening and thought-provoking!
Wonderful common sense. We who manage our elders’ health care need to find these doctors and resist “Big Parma/Medicine”.
I was a bit disturbed by Ms. Denise Michaud’s Statement that she was so glad to see everyone in person. A new Covid surge, with a very high mortality rate for the elderly, had already started at the time of this lecture.
THe suggestion that we don't know how much turmeric is in the pill and we don't know how much we need it just answered by buying a good brand and then the odds seem to be much higher than it will help than hurt, so the risk reward says do it. Not enough work is done on risk/reward. His idea seems to be either cook with it or don't take it whereby you miss an opportunity. (personally I add it to almost everything I cook, but if I didn't and the pills were within my budget I'd take them)
Lot's of good points, but I'm not buying there are studies which show supplements don't help with staying healthy. There is no way you could have that data, because a healthy user bias makes it pretty much impossible. There is short term data, from short term studies with specific groups taking just one supplement, but not studies that make it clear in the way he is suggesting. I think most supplements are a waste of time, but some, like omega 3, are really useful, and others may turn out to also be in the future.
"Your bad cholesterol is so high" ... but we know there's no such thing as bad cholesterol... or you're just saying what the Dr would say?
"Healthy aging" ! Yeh ! It's called 'dieing' !
And it's spelt "dying".
The doctor should'nt be asked to speak with such poor command of the English language. He attemps to make specifuc points while using glitterring generalities. The only thing I was certain of, was the importance of eating and talking at the same time. Thank you. Paul Laboda
