A new study suggests that stopping or even reversing the aging process is impossible. In a collaborative effort from scientists worldwide, including experts from the University of Oxford, it was concluded that aging is inevitable due to biological constraints, The Guardian reported.
Keeping this in consideration, what is anti-aging research?
Anti-aging research is built on the idea that slowing the aging process can therefore prevent multiple age-related diseases in one go. The goal is to replicate what happens to supercentenarians: lucky individuals who experience few health problems until extreme old age.
Also to know is, is aging mostly genetic?
Abstract. Healthy aging and longevity in humans are modulated by a lucky combination of genetic and non-genetic factors. Family studies demonstrated that about 25 % of the variation in human longevity is due to genetic factors.
