Introduction

The process of growing old.

Epidemiology

Pathology

* assumed to be an indicator of clinical hydration

* Hallmarks of Aging[13]

* formation of zombie cells removed from list in 2022

* changes in brain iron & oxygen homeostasis-related gene expression noted as a hallmark of aging[14]

* clearance of cell surface uPAR-containing cells with CAR T-cell therapy may prevent &/or attenuate age-related degenerative pathology[15]

* Hallmarks of Health[13]

  • organizational features of spatial compartmentalization
  • maintenance of homeostasis
  • adequate responses to stress

Evolution

  • according to the theory of evolution, life arose from primordial soup when information representing life was able to replicate faster than the environment destroyed it
  • thus began evolution
  • the organization of information diversified giving rise to the origin of species
  • some species adapted to preserve an individual for longer periods of time under pressures of survival of the species
  • humans in their past were under pressure to select for increased reproductive fitness in individuals with increased longevity
  • thus human aging or its antithesis longevity has evolved; it is not fixed[9]

* the molecules of life are discussed elsewhere, see

Physiology

  • the gradual deterioration of a mature organism resulting from time-dependent, & often irreversible changes in structure that are intrinsic to a particular species (i.e. loss of post-mitotic neurons)
  • these changes eventually lead to a decreased ability to cope with environmental stresses, i.e. a loss of homeostasis.
  • as a result, the probability of death increases exponentially with time.

Clinical manifestations

Complications

Differential diagnosis

Notes

  • quantification of aging rates in young individuals[5]
    • before midlife, individuals who were aging more rapidly were less physically able, showed cognitive decline & brain aging, self-reported worse health, & looked older[5]
  • cancer survivors are subject to an increased rate of aging with associated increase in all-cause & cancer-specific mortality[10]
  • investigational treatment of aging through removal of senescent cells targeting cell-surface uPAR[15]
