摘要
Many biologists do not believe that practical means of postponing human aging are currently available. Human aging appears to result from the random accumulation of damage in cells, tissues, or the organism as a whole that occurs over the lifetime of the organism and increases the probability of death. It is possible to decrease the rate of this accumulation of damage in humans, as already does occur in developed countries. Initiating the sorts of changes that extend healthy life span has been a relatively slow process, because it has been a byproduct of general economic development, but it could be made to proceed more rapidly. Our research shows that it is possible to postpone age-related changes by up to 20 years, by using what is already known about avoiding discomfort and risk factors to health in practical application.
