Hi,
We are living for longer and longer in most parts of the world, because of steadily improving living conditions and health care. However, advancing age has been revealed as the major risk for factor for serious diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and dementia.
Increasing interest is therefore turning to the potential for intervening in the ageing process itself to prevent multiple age-related diseases simultaneously. Ageing does indeed turn out to be a malleable process and, surprisingly, to have much in common between humans and laboratory animals.
Recent discoveries have revealed that existing drugs can be repurposed to combat ageing, and that it may well be possible to keep us healthier for longer as we age.
