AGING
Ageing process (‘normal ageing’) represents
the universal biological changes that occur
with age and are unaffected by disease and
environmental influences. Not all of these
age-related changes have adverse clinical
impacts (WHO, 1999).

Process of ageing is strongly influenced by


the effects of environmental, lifestyle and
disease states that, in turn, are related to or
change with ageing but are not due to ageing
itself

“a persistent decline in the age-specific fitness


components of an organism due to internal
physiological degeneration.”
AGING DEFINITION
1. Progressive, generalised
impairment of function
resulting in a loss of adaptive
response to stress and in a
growing risk of age associated
disease.
2. Process of growing older
without growing old through
the maintenance of physical,
social, and spiritual activities
throughout a lifetime’
Definition of Old
 Based on this physical capacity to
work, the old are placed in three
categories:
 (1) Recent old who are still active
and undertake normal activities
without support;
 (2) Old who work with difficulty
and hence have reduced
activities;
 (3) Very old who work with
difficulty in the home or not at
all.

Anti Aging Treatment
Anti-aging treatment reveals some
weaknesses in this standard view, involving
the following questions.
1. Is there a real distinction between age-
related disease and aging?
2. Where should one draw the line
between anti-aging treatment and
conventional treatments for late-life
diseases?
3. To what extent do treatments that
extend lifespan in animal models slow
aging?
4. Which is a better defining
characteristic of anti-aging treatments:
 that they inhibit the central process of
aging, or that they prevent age-related
diseases?
Anti Aging Treatment Definition
Aging is the set of
endogenously generated
pathologies that increase in
later life, and that anti-aging
treatments are best defined as
those that prevent one or more
pathologies of aging.
Anti Aging Treatment Principle
1. A drug or treatment that
mimics the effect of dietary
restriction, and inhibits aging
itself and, thereby, all age-
related disease.
2. A treatment or treatment that
blocks a subset of age-related
pathology
3. A drug or treatment that
protects against a single age-
related disease
