The Third Age Trust

A look at what happens when we age, and research which may indicate some ways in which we can all “Age Better,” staying healthier for longer

Please do join us to hear from Professor Janet Lord FMedSci, from the Institute of Inflammation and Ageing, University of Birmingham.This will be a hybrid event, run from Lichfield u3a’s Monthly Meeting. This event is part of the Future Lives series of talks; the u3a’s Future Lives group explores how we can have a better older age, aiming to challenge attitudes and break down physical barriers that restrict people as they get older. We’re finding out what we can do to improve unsuitable homes, limit isolation and overcome poor health. Good design can be liberating – and the reverse is true! We want to use our collective voice to bring about change. Find out more on the Future Lives webpage.If you would like to join us in person in Lichfield, you’re welcome. For more information, email Jean Jackson: jacksonjean@live.co.uk, Lichfield u3a. Janet Lord is the Director of the MRC-Versus Arthritis Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research and Professor of Cell Biology. Her research focusses on the changes in immunity in old age, in particular how older people react to infection and tissue injury. She aims to understand how this works and to develop novel therapies to improve immunity in older adults.This event is for u3a members only and will be held online via Zoom.
