COLL 132: LONGEVITY & DISEASE PREVENTION
Fall 2026 · Section 001 · CRN 16357
Why do some people remain healthy and active well into old age while others develop chronic disease decades earlier? This course will help answer this question and explore the science and practice of how to live longer, better quality lives using evidence-based disease prevention and lifestyle medicine strategies. We will focus on preventing the leading causes of death, including heart disease and cancer, by examining how everyday habits and lifestyle factors influence disease risk, biological aging, and overall health span. The course will include topics on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, emotional health, environmental exposures, and behavioral changes with a goal of empowering students to make informed choices and design realistic goals and interventions regarding their long-term health. Learning and assessments will focus on self-reflections, lifestyle-self experiments and reports, and personal longevity plans.
