STOP AGEING: TARGET AGEING. STAY YOUNG. PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASE.

Ageing is the perfect therapeutic target. As the primary cause of chronic diseases—often referred to as the Chronic Diseases of Ageing—and a treatable biological process, ageing demands our immediate attention. By intentionally treating ageing, aiming to delay, stop, and reverse the mechanisms of ageing, we can prevent the development of these diseases, reduce healthcare costs, alleviate suffering, and significantly improve our quality of life.
Ageing interventions focus on reducing our Biological Age—the functional age of our organs and tissues. Biological age is a modifiable risk factor, meaning we can change it and lessen its impact on our risk of developing illness. It stands as the primary risk factor for all chronic diseases, accounting for up to 80% of the risk of developing conditions like Type 2 Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease, Cancer, Osteoporosis, or Dementia.
True preventative healthcare cannot succeed without addressing ageing—the mother of all risk factors. Recognising this, along with the groundbreaking advancements in the fields of Gero-science and Bio-gerontology, empowers doctors and patients to make informed choices about strategies to reduce age and the diseases and suffering it causes. This book also addresses the barriers hindering further progress in this critical area.
This is the first in a series exploring the role of Functional, Anti-Ageing, and Regenerative Medicine in the prevention and treatment of Ageing, Illness and Death.
