A new report from the Gerontological Society of America provides critical guidance for health care providers working with the nation’s growing older adult population, highlighting strategies to improve communication, build trust, and support better health outcomes.

The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) — the nation’s oldest and largest interdisciplinary organization focused on aging — is proud to announce its newest elected officers. These individuals were chosen by GSA’s membership, which consists of more than 6,000 researchers, educators, and practitioners.

The first comprehensive review of two decades of research from the National Institute on Aging’s Interventions Testing Program (ITP) highlights 13 interventions that show promise in preclinical studies for significantly extending lifespan and improving health span. The findings are published in The Journals of Gerontology, Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences by the Gerontological Society of America.

The National Center to Reframe Aging — the leading organization for proven communication strategies and tools to effectively frame aging issues — is partnering with the Pennsylvania Department of Aging (PDA) to explore new approaches for positioning senior community centers as recognizable, in-person community hubs that connect older people to vital resources, services, and their broader communities.

The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) commends Representatives Mike Kelly and Raul Ruiz, MD, for introducing the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of 2025 (H.R. 4231). This legislation is critical for providing Medicare beneficiaries with access to comprehensive obesity care, including anti-obesity medications and intensive behavioral therapy. GSA is encouraged by the introduction of the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA) in both the House of Representatives and Senate, and calls on Congress to pass this important legislation.
