This symposium brings together multidisciplinary research on how personal and environmental factors shape midlife function and aging trajectories. Studies evaluate behavioral and physiological markers, including biological age versus physical capacity, and examine how stressors such as violence exposure may accelerate biological aging while widening health disparities.

Khalil Iktilat will present an examination of the impact of environmental factors, such as exposure to violence, on health disparities, manifested as accelerated biological aging in midlife. Finally, we will present the Midlife Aging and Performance Study (MAPS) which introduces a novel functional assessment battery linked to traditional biological age evaluation. Presented studies highlight the importance of integrating physiological, psychological, and behavioral markers to advance our understanding of midlife function and its long-term health implications. The findings emphasize the need for deeper scientific focus on midlife and targeted preventive interventions ensuring tailored strategies that enhance active aging and reduce disparities in diverse populations.  \nSESSION 2415 (SYMPOSIUM)   \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.959  \nDECIPHERING THE BLACK BOX OF MIDLIFE AGING:  \nUNRAVELLING FUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN THE  \nAGING PROCESS  \nChair: Maayan Agmon  \nMidlife is a pivotal yet understudied phase of the aging process, offering a unique opportunity to identify early markers of functional decline and implement interventions that promote healthy aging. This symposium presents multidisciplinary research examining the influence of personal and environmental factors as key determinants of midlife function and aging trajectories. Professor Agmon will provide an overview of the spectrum of personal and environmental factors studied in her lab, emphasizing newly developed behavioral markers that can be used to quantify function in midlife.
