The National Institute on Aging (NIA), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), works to increase understanding of the nature and implications of aging and to extend the healthy active years of life. The NIA was established in 1974 after the White House Conference on Aging recommended its creation and Congress authorized, through Public Law 93-296, formation of NIA to provide leadership in aging research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs relevant to aging and older adults.
