***SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2022***

Did you know that we can lead longer and healthier lives by making simple changes right now?

Professor Rose Anne Kenny has 35 years of experience at the forefront of ageing medicine. In Age Proof, she draws on her own pioneering research and the latest evidence to demystify why we age and shows us that 80% of our ageing biology is within our control: we can not only live longer lives but become happier and healthier deep into our later years.

Effortlessly distilling scientific theory into practical advice that we can apply to our everyday lives, Professor Kenny examines the impact that food, genetics, friendships, purpose, sex, exercise and laughter have on how our cells age. This illuminating book will show you the steps you can take to stay younger for longer - and will prove that you really are just as young as you feel.

Critics Review

A timely call to safeguard our health and vitality
Irish Times
An essential roadmap to ageing well that's full of good sense and optimism
Irish Examiner
Professor Rose Anne Kenny reveals in her new book what you should do now to change the rest of your life
The Times
'A very readable and stimulating survey of ageing, strong both on the science of ageing, and on our experiences of getting older. It is wide ranging, blending succinct descriptions of the biological, social and psychological underpinnings of the ageing process with practical advice about how to age in a healthier way, covering issues such as exercise, mindfulness, diet, and the maintenance of social relationships and engagement with life. I can highly recommend this book'
Professor Andrew Steptoe, Professor of Psychology and Epidemiology, UCL and Director of English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
'Dr. Rose Anne Kenny combines decades of loving, hands-on, bedside expertise with state of the art science and a delightful Irish voice to give not only hope but even joyful anticipation to the privilege of growing older. Age Proof is evidence that aging is for everyone'
Stacy Tessler Lindau, MD, MAPP, Catherine Lindsay Dobson Professor, Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Medicine-Geriatrics, University of Chicago
'Of the many books available to read on how to think positively about how we age and what evidence supports particular ways of living this one stands out ... it deserves a wide readership'
Professor Carol Brayne CBE, Professor of Public Health Medicine in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care in the University of Cambridge
