1) Medication reviews need to happen 2) We need to better test (multiple) medications on the people who actually use them 3) We need to ensure that people are taking the medications they are given. My letter in Sunday Times www.thetimes.com/comment/lett...

This is daft. True in the UK too (and encouraged by some investment firms who want you to keep cash in their funds) Spend your money in retirement - don't hoard it. moneywise.com/retirement/r...

Thanks to the Financial Times for picking up my letter about rollercoasters and ageing. The adults accompanying children to theme parks are often in their fifties and sixties – and they spend money. @ilcuk.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/d453...

The UK spends around a third of what the US does on healthcare per person – but that gap masks a system under severe strain. Can the UK manage its way out of increasing health costs? ilcuk.org.uk/can-the-uk-m...

Just back from a trip to meet the British and Chinese Government in Beijing. One random thing both I and a colleague noticed was that people in Beijing seemed pretty/very happy. Perhaps an unusual reflection but the UK doesn't feel very happy. Ok I only saw Beijing so it won't be representative...

I really like the FT's coverage of demography/ageing. They are leading the way with solid analysis and recognition of the impact of ageing. But boy - they really do love writing about their toys/robots (we've seen 25 years of writing on why tech will save us from ageing)

Interesting FT story on the Italy referendum on citizenship. Italy is ageing rapidly and faces significant economic challenges from ageing - it has failed to adapt. Migration wont be the solution (alone) but it has a role to play on.ft.com/4dIv7KW

Speaking this morning in Sofia at the first Bulgarian conference on longevity organised by Капитал newspaper. Lots of people talking about extending life. I'm pointing out that Bulgaria isn't yet getting the basics right (vaccination uptake is low in adults for example(.

Short trip to Wrexham yesterday. Got in early. Mr Reynolds spent a good hour walking round the ground chatting to people and taking selfies. And Wrexham won.

Fantastic show from Hamish Hawk at Rockaway Beach. Amazing voice. One of the most interesting and creative singer songwriters gigging at the moment. Charming and funny.

Visiting HEATONGRAD tonight. Paul Heaton is one one of the best British singer songwriters. As I'm in my 50s now (and only 5ft6) I've voluntarily and for the first time ever at a gig, chosen a seat rather than standing.

I'd advocate for free public transport for all. But until that happens I don't really see the case for London Oyster to be free at 60 rather than state pension age. 23 year olds in first job shouldn't have to pay for London travel while 60 year olds on (typically) much bigger salaries don't.

At the Alzheimer's Disease International End of Year Forecast. Striking that there are 30 drugs at Phase 3. And disappointing that in a world of machine learning, it still takes 10 years to take a medication through the 3 phases of clinical trials.

Many work social activities revolve around alcohol. So we wanted to do something a bit different to start to celebrate Christmas with the International Longevity Centre team. Last night nine of us joined a 10k tour around the London Christmas lights www.secretlondonruns.com.

I remember when you had to phone the club if you wanted to know the score. Now in a Wrexham FC bar near Times Square where they are streaming the match.
