Overview

Caloric restriction (CR) retards aging in many species. Obesity increases the mortality rate in humans. Yet beyond this superficial commonality, the connections between these two phenomena are incompletely known. So too, the mechanisms behind obesity’s deleterious and CR’s salubrious effects are minimally known and almost certainly manifold. Access to several emerging resources offers the opportunity to address new questions about the extent to which reduced energy intake, negative energy balance, lower body weight, reduced body fat, reduced body fat in specific depots, the dynAMic process of weight or fat loss, or even hunger itself play roles in influencing longevity. This meeting will assemble a diverse highly-interdisciplinary group of investigators to address these issues.

Women, members of underrepresented minority groups and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.

Registration is $200 for attendees from academic, government, and not-for-profit organizations and $850 for attendees from for-profit companies and does not include the cost of food, travel or lodging. Limited funds are available on a competitive basis for travel scholarships with preference given to graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.

Registration will be limited, so please apply prior to Fri 9/28/2007. Accepted applicants will be notified by Mon 10/1/2007.
