Preferred term

anti-aging interventions  

Definition

  • What is an anti-aging intervention? This is a particularly important question today given the presence of a large and growing industry of entrepreneurs who are selling to the public the age-old idea that anti-aging interventions already exist and that much longer lives can be achieved by people who are currently alive. The idea that the aging of people is subject to modification, dramatic life extension is possible, and physical immortality is within our grasp dates back thousands of years.
