Beschreibung
Through the efforts of researchers, we have gained new insights into the physiological and molecular aspects of aging using both epidemiological and model organism approaches which has led to significant advancements in potential anti-aging strategies. This book is important as most chronic diseases in the world are intertwined with the aging process. According to the World Health Organization, non-communicable diseases affect mainly adults and aged individuals and this imposes the greatest burden on global health with staggering costs to the healthcare services. This volume presents a series of reviews in various aspects of aging and age-related disease research along with several methods which have shown progress as potential anti-aging approaches. The book is of high interest to researchers in the areas of aging and chronic disease, as well as to clinical scientists, physicians and the major drug companies since it gives insights into the latest ideas and technologies enabling progress in this area. It provides important information on disease mechanisms related to the aging process, as each chapter will be presented in the context of the aging process, specific chronic diseases or different therapeutic areas.
