Anti-Aging |
Anti-Aging Anti-aging medicine is the pinnacle of biotechnology joined with advanced clinical preventive medicine. The specialty is founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans. As such, anti-aging medicine is based on principles of sound and responsible medical care that are consistent with those applied in other preventive health specialties. The anti-aging medical model aims to both extend lifespan as well as prolong healthspan — the length of time that we are able to live productively and independently. Aging is a continuous process resulting from the accumulation of little random changes affecting structural and functional elements within the body. At a molecular level, damages accumulate with time on DNA, proteins and lipids as they overcome the intrinsic repair mechanisms of the body. This build-up of molecular changes eventually affects physiological processes leading to the point where it may even compromise the general homeostasis of the body. As a consequence, we tend to become more vulnerable to environmental stress and age-related diseases as we grow old. Anti-aging is also associated with a reversal of the slower metabolism, a decrease in the number of active cells and an increase in their mutation rate. |
