Living better and living longer- Women share their secrets

Professor Cassandra Szoeke from the University of Melbourne has unlocked the secrets of women living better and longer.

Her book ‘Secrets of Women’s Healthy Ageing’ published in 2021 is based on over 30 years of research.

To celebrate International Women’s Day in our local community, Professor Szoeke will deliver a summary of her findings and some free advice for a healthier lifestyle.

Regular exercise in middle age is the best lifestyle change a person can make to prevent cognitive decline in the later years, her landmark 30-year study has found.

University researchers followed 387 Australian women from the Women’s Healthy Ageing Project for three decades. The women were aged from 45 to 55 when the study began in 1992.
