Summary Can aging be treated like a disease rather than accepted as destiny? Show / hide ↓

This article discussed whether aging should be viewed as a medical condition that might be treated. It reviewed existing research on biological aging, meaning the gradual changes that make cells and organs work less well. It did not test a treatment or follow a group of people. The authors considered possible approaches, such as medicines and lifestyle changes, but did not prove that any can safely extend human life.

What this means for you: This article does not support buying an anti-aging product or treatment. It is a discussion of possibilities, not evidence that aging can currently be cured.
