When do we start aging?
What is aging?
What causes aging?
These were some of the questions posed to aging experts (professionals, professors, graduate students) who were attending a conference on aging called “Systems Aging.”
The big takeaway from the survey was that there is no consensus about what aging is. The experts disagree about the definition of aging, its causes, when it starts and what it would mean to be rejuvenated.
The experts DO agree that aging is process of decline. They also agree that this process of decline can be modulated; it can be accelerated or slowed down. I believe the aging process can be slowed using the same levers used to promote brain health.
