SUMMARY:Early detection for dementia\, an oxymoron? Examining the evidence from population studies
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to invite you to an in‑person OSAL event with Professor Carol Brayne\, one of the leading public health voices in dementia and ageing. \nEarly detection for dementia is often treated as an obvious good: find it earlier\, fix it earlier. In this talk\, Professor Brayne will challenge that simple narrative\, drawing on decades of population‑based research to ask when dementia really becomes detectable\, what “early” labels actually tell us about the future\, and how screening can both help and harm. \nShe will explore: \n\nHow dementia trends have changed over time in real‑world populations\nWhy mild memory problems and “preclinical” labels do not always progress to dementia\nThe gap between tests/biomarkers and people’s lived cognitive function\nThe ethical and practical dilemmas of telling people they are “at risk” years before symptoms may—or may not—develop

SUMMARY:What do epigenetic clocks teach us about ageing and longevity?
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to invite you to an in‑person event with Professor Steve Horvath\, one of the world’s most influential ageing researchers and a principal investigator at Altos Labs. This event is co-hosted by the Oxford Society of Ageing and Longevity(OSAL) and the Consumer\, Media and Lifestyle OBN at Saïd Business School. \nThe development of DNA methylation-based epigenetic clocks has revolutionized our ability to measure biological age across tissues and species. In this talk\, Professor Horvath will synthesize insights from his foundational clocks\, such as PhenoAge and GrimAge\, to discuss what they reveal about individual ageing trajectories and how lifestyle\, environment\, and chronic disease accelerate biological ageing. He will also rigorously address the promise and limitations of these tools as surrogate endpoints in translational geroscience and anti-ageing clinical trials.
