Purpose and content of the course

Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to introduce the concept of longevity based on scientific foundations, to provide students with knowledge about the biological and environmental factors affecting the aging process, and to support their understanding of basic approaches related to healthy aging.
Course Objective: By the end of this course, students are expected to:
• explain the basic concepts of longevity and aging,
• classify the biological and environmental factors affecting aging,
• interpret approaches that support healthy aging,
• evaluate the effects of digitalization on aging,
• explain the concept of ageism with examples,
• discuss age-friendly society approaches.
Mode of Delivery: E-Learning
