The Japanese island Okinawa is known for its high number of centenarians, healthy diet and lifestyle. Due to this it is one of the few areas in the world that is called “blue zone”. During May 12-13, leading international scientists and inspiring speakers will meet on Okinawa for two full days of talks about the latest research on longevity and healthy ageing – and what we can learn from so called “blue zones”.

The Japanese island Okinawa is known for its high number of centenarians, healthy diet and lifestyle. Due to this it is one of the few areas in the world that is called “blue zone”. During May 12-13, leading international scientists and inspiring speakers will meet on Okinawa for two full days of talks about the latest research on longevity and healthy ageing – and what we can learn from so called “blue zones”.

“It is a perfect place to interact, update and develop the research field. Leading world experts in the field of longevity and healthy ageing will meet to review and discuss the epidemiology, underlying causes, prevention strategies, therapies and future research directions”, says Olle Melander, lead organizer of the symposium, on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Journal of Internal Medicine.

The opening lecture will be held by Professor Makoto Suzuki from the Okinawa Centre for Longevity Science, the founder and principal investigator of the Okinawa Centenarian Study.

“The theme of the symposium is more timely than ever. The rapidly increasing numbers of elderly in the population inevitably results in more age-related diseases and susceptibility to severe course. In order to decrease suffering from disease and burden on the health care system, one of the greatest challenges of our time is therefore to promote both longevity and healthy ageing”, says Olle Melander, professor of internal medicine, Lund University, and consultant at the Department of Internal Medicine, Skåne University Hospital, Sweden.

The symposium is a so-called Key symposium – international meetings within the research areas at the forefront of internal medicine, organized annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Journal of Internal Medicine.

Registration to participate in the symposium is open for scientists and others.

Registration – hybrid (on-site/online). Information:
