Why Do We Age?

 

 

Aging is the progressive decline of the human body’s function that results from a combination of genetic, environmental, and metabolic factors. As our cells accumulate damage, important systemic processes within the body become dysregulated, leading to an increased rate of disease and mortality (see overview here).

 

The global population is aging at an unprecedented rate, a phenomenon that carries significant social and economic challenges. Societies are investing heavily in the fight against aging—a recent analysis revealed that a slowdown of aging by just one year could be worth $38T in the US alone.
