DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 35th annual meeting of the American Aging Association, combined with the 20th Meeting of the American College of Clinical Gerontology, will be held June 3-5, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts. The theme of the meeting will be: "Interventions in Aging and Age-related Diseases: the Present and the Future". Older adults are the fastest growing segment of U.S. population. As the number of older Americans increases, the need to understand age-related health problems and strategies to prevent them escalates. This conference aims to provide an opportunity for interaction among experts in aging research, students and young investigators and to facilitate discussion and review of the field's most recent findings. This meeting will consist of invited lecturers, workshops, oral and poster presentations of latest research on aging as well as a debate session on contentious topics in the field. The conference will include 8 sessions with the following topics: 1) Current Advances in Understanding the Basic Biology of Aging, 2) Sarcopenia: Cause, Effect, and Treatment, 3) Osteoporosis: Mechanisms, prevention and treatments, 4) Intervention in Aging and Age-Related Skin Diseases, 5) Immunity and Infection, 6) Trans-Atlantic Awareness & Collaboration Symposium on Ageing Research, 7) Metabolic Syndrome and Aging, and 8) Calcium-Mediated Signal Transduction in Brain Aging. Each session will consist of 3 presentations by invited speakers including adequate time for discussion, and 1-2 short (15 minutes) presentations selected from the submitted abstracts. Each session will have at least 1 presentation on basic mechanisms and 1-2 presentations on intervention, which should include both presently available interventions as well as what would be expected in the future. There will also be a debate session on a contentious topic in aging research, and a session devoted to enhance graduate students' participation in gerontological research. Session 6 will be fully funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council of the United Kingdom to support presentation by the British Scientists at this meeting and to encourage cross-Atlantic collaboration. Financial assistance will be provided to young investigators and those in training to encourage their participation in the meeting. Special efforts will be devoted to encourage participation of underrepresented minorities. The meeting will be preceded by a Pre-conference on Calorie restriction.

说明（由申请人提供）：美国老龄化协会第35届年会与美国临床老年学院第20届会议将于2006年6月3日至5日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。 会议的主题是：“衰老和与年龄相关的疾病的干预：现在和未来”。老年人是美国人口中增长最快的群体。随着美国老年人数量的增加，了解与年龄相关的健康问题以及预防这些问题的策略的需求也随之升级。本次会议旨在为老龄化研究专家、学生和年轻研究人员提供互动的机会，并促进对该领域最新研究结果的讨论和回顾。本次会议将包括特邀讲师、研讨会、老龄化最新研究的口头和海报展示以及该领域有争议话题的辩论会。会议将包括 8 个会议，主题如下：1) 理解衰老基础生物学的最新进展，2) 肌肉减少症：原因、影响和治疗，3) 骨质疏松症：机制、预防和治疗，4) 衰老和与年龄相关的皮肤病的干预，5) 免疫和感染，6) 跨大西洋衰老研究意识与合作研讨会，7)代谢 综合征和衰老，以及 8) 大脑衰老中钙介导的信号转导。每场会议将包括 3 场受邀演讲者的演讲，包括充足的讨论时间，以及从提交的摘要中选出的 1-2 场简短（15 分钟）的演讲。每场会议将至少有 1 场关于基本机制的演讲和 1-2 场关于 干预措施，其中应包括目前可用的干预措施以及未来预期的干预措施。还将针对老龄化研究中的一个有争议的话题举办一场辩论会，以及一场致力于提高研究生参与老年学研究的会议。第六场会议将由英国生物技术和生物科学研究理事会全额资助，以支持英国科学家在本次会议上的演讲并鼓励跨大西洋合作。将为年轻研究人员和正在接受培训的研究人员提供经济援助，以鼓励他们参加会议。将特别努力鼓励代表性不足的少数群体的参与。会议之前将举行关于卡路里限制的会前会议。
