Summary
***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.

A very useful book.
This book is really interesting and based on sound research. I found it positive, helpful and so accessible, no jargon or complex explanations.

Inspirational
A genuine expert giving excellent, informative, good advice and very inspiring.
I love her voice and it’s well read but slow.
However,using the app to increase speed to x1.2 fixes that.

ok
Wanders around many topics. Some the author knows very well and are covered highly technically, some viewed through a lens of clinical experience and a few that sound like a Wikipedia overview with little depth. It's worth buying just to hear her say 'baboon' in an Irish accent though.

Excellent easy listen to a subject of importance
I enjoyed the Irish accent, very relaxing. The subject was covered well, although the detail and depth varied from chapter to chapter. As an introduction to the many aspects of aging better, based on clinical research, it is a great choice.

Uplifting if you’re prepared to take the challenge
A book for both me and my adult children emphasising positivity and that it’s never to late to start or improve.

Interesting but lacking critical analysis
The book starts with criticism of the lack of evidence in the generic publications and books. Although it approaches the areas systematically, there appeared to be a lack of critical evaluation. The evidence provided was all unidirectional with no real critical analysis of the data or and opposing evidence to contradict. Several statements were being made which are being questioned and refuted but presented by the current medical thinking. Good listen but feel I will need to dig a little deeper to convince myself.

Excellent. Read this! Definitely!
Clearly explained. We need to do more as we become an “older person”. Use it or lose it and this is why! Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable
A great read that gives interesting insight into how best to go about about transitioning into older age. If you’re lacking motivation to get off your butt and make the right changes, also listen to the short Ted talk the author talks about by Charles Eugster - a real delight!
