Many of you may think that aging comes to everyone equally. However, did you know that recent research has led to the standard theory that aging is a disease and that it is possible to rejuvenate with proper treatment?

 

This idea has also become a hot topic as the WHO will add "ageing-related diseases" to the International Classification of Diseases in 2022, and aging is now considered to be a disease that must be cured. The concept of anti-aging is now undergoing major changes all over the world.

 

One word that is gaining attention is "longevity." Let's take a closer look at this keyword.

 

What does Longevity mean?

 

Longevity is a word that originates from the Latin words "longus" (long) and "aevum" (age/lifespan), and literally translates to "longevity" in English. However, in the field of anti-aging medicine, it means "living a long and healthy life and enjoying it."

 

In Longevity, "longevity" does not only refer to the "biological life span" that is the period until physical death. What is important is the "health span" that is the period until one can live an independent, healthy life in both body and mind. In other words, the ideal is to maintain quality of life (QOL) even as one ages.

 

Longevity emphasizes "biological age"

 

The first step in longevity is to know your biological age. Here are the differences between chronological age and biological age:

 

 

Chronological age is the age that increases with each birthday. However, even if two people have the same chronological age, some people look older and others look younger. This is because the speed at which aging progresses varies from person to person.

 

If the aging speed is fast, not only will you look older, but it will also affect your bodily functions and the risk of age-related diseases. Biological age is an indicator of this aging speed. It is also a very important factor in longevity.

 

Aging is a natural change in bodily functions that occurs equally for everyone, but what is perhaps less known is that the speed at which it progresses varies from person to person.

 

While chronological age increases steadily every year, biological age can be delayed or even reversed through various approaches. For example, there are many things you can be conscious of in your daily life, such as actively taking in the nutrients necessary for longevity through supplements and diet, and living a regular life and exercising regularly. In addition, medical approaches such as natural hormone replacement therapy and infusion therapy are available at cosmetic medicine clinics.

 

Indicators of longevity | What epigenetic clock testing can tell us

 

A test that can check the current degree of aging is called an "aging biomarker." This is a groundbreaking invention in longevity medicine.

 

Anti-aging treatment is an investment in your future self. The effects are not immediate, and it is only after 30 or 40 years that you realize that it was worth continuing anti-aging treatment. If you could now predict what kind of results you could expect in the future...there is nothing more motivating. If you find that a treatment is not effective, you can try a different method.

 

Aging biomarkers are revolutionary tests that allow you to find out now what effect your daily anti-aging care and current lifestyle will have on you 30 to 40 years from now. There are various types of aging biomarkers, but the "epigenetic clock test" is currently considered the most reliable method.
