Abstract
We explore aging as a global phenomenon, questioning whether it constitutes a treatable condition or follows a natural course. Acknowledging its multifactorial nature, we delve into the challenges and opportunities inherent in this intricate biological process. The inclusion of old age in the 11th International Classification of Diseases sparks debate, categorizing it as a disease based on mechanistic explanations, blood-based biomarkers, and anti-aging products. Ethical dilemmas arise, emphasizing the difficulty of defining the transition from normal to pathological states during this process. We suggest that aging should be regarded as a treatable condition without necessarily labeling it a ‘disease.’ While anti-aging research unveils promising interventions like Metformin, Rapamycin, and cellular therapy, achieving biological immortality remains a formidable challenge. The future promises to prolong life and enhance quality by comprehensively understanding aging's implications for human health.
