We are proud to host the 6th Alavi Meeting on Aging and the 2nd international Healthy Aging Congress in Tabriz. Aging Research Institute of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (TUOMS), as the first Aging Research Institute in Iran, tries to provide an opportunity to discuss one of the biggest demographic changes, namely the phenomenon of population aging, the opportunities, challenges, issues and concerns related to it from different points of views and perspectives of various sciences. Although developing countries, including Iran, are experiencing the phenomenon of population aging with some delay, the high steep of population aging and subsequently the high density of issues and needs related to rapid demographic changes will be special features of this experience. a

Healthy aging is one of the most important goals of aging experts. Various factors are involved in healthy aging. Healthy aging is the process of creating opportunities and an environment for older adults to actively participate in society and social life, regardless of individual differences and even differences in health status and disabilities, while providing for their basic needs by benefiting from learning and growth opportunities. a
