Age Proof: The New Science of Living a Longer and Healthier Life is the No. 1 international bestseller from Professor Rose Anne Kenny, a leading researcher on ageing. Drawing on 35 years at the frontline of geriatric medicine, Kenny reveals that up to 80% of how we age is within our own control. Written in an accessible style, this paperback distils cutting-edge science into practical actions for anyone who wants to feel younger, live longer and stay healthier for life.. About the Book. In Age Proof, Professor Rose Anne Kenny — founder of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) — draws on decades of research and real-life case studies to demystify the biology of ageing. Rather than presenting ageing as inevitable decline, she shows which levers readers can pull to change their trajectory: diet, exercise, genetics, sleep, social connection, purpose, intimacy and even laughter all play a measurable role in how our cells age. Shortlisted for the 2022 Royal Society Science Book Prize, the book has been widely praised, with the Irish Times calling it a timely call to safeguard health and vitality. Kenny writes with clinical authority, yet the tone remains warm, optimistic and free of jargon. Each chapter tackles a pillar of healthy ageing, translating complex studies into clear steps readers can apply immediately — rethinking diet, building social ties, or finding renewed purpose in later life. It is a genuinely evidence-based, hope-filled guide to getting older, rather than another quick-fix anti-ageing fad.. Science made practical: Clear explanations of ageing biology paired with realistic actions you can apply today.. Comprehensive coverage: Diet, genetics, friendships, purpose, intimacy, exercise and laughter — every angle of healthy ageing..
