After decades of systematic collection of data describing
age-related changes in organisms, organs, tissues, cells and
macromolecules, biogerontologists are now in a position to
construct general principles of ageing and explore various
possibilities of intervention using rational approaches. While not
giving serious consideration to the claims made by charlatans, it
cannot be ignored that several researchers are making genuine
attempts to test and develop various means of intervention for the
prevention and treatment of age-related diseases, for regaining the
functional abilities and for prolonging the lifespan of
experimental organisms. This book provides the most up-to-date
information and a critical evaluation of a variety of approaches
being tried for modulating aging and longevity, including dietary
supplementation with antioxidants, vitamins and hormones, genetic
engineering, life-style alterations, and hormesis through mild
stress. The goal of research on ageing is not to increase human
longevity regardless of the consequences, but to increase active
longevity free from disability and functional dependence.
