The Truth about Human Aging "Antiaging products are big business, but the marketing of these products often misrepresents the science. Rather than let their silence imply their support, 51 leading scientists in the field of aging research collaborated on a position paper that sets out the current state of the science and separates fact from fiction".

Better Health Channel "Relaible health information - Quality assured by the Victorian Government"

Healthy Ageing, Quality Ageing "Free Australian website designed to access reliable information about ageing, using quality assured websites, research databases, planning tools, statistics, maps, contacts lists, links and more.."
