Healthy ageing starts earlier than you think
On 3 December 2026, the first edition of The National State of Healthy Ageing will take place: the ERGO Healthy Ageing Summit 2026.
The processes that shape how we age do not suddenly emerge. They develop over many years, often long before someone experiences any symptoms.
Science has already given us powerful insights into these trajectories. For more than 35 years, the Rotterdam Study (ERGO) has followed tens of thousands of individuals over time, generating a uniquely rich longitudinal picture of healthy ageing.
This knowledge should not remain confined to scientific publications. We need to translate it more effectively into prevention, early detection, more accessible healthcare, better policy and, ultimately, meaningful societal impact.
Registration will open very soon. Together, we will make the first State of Healthy Ageing Summit a leading platform for the future of healthy ageing.
