What is meant
by "anti-aging" medicine?
Few people have not dreamed of staying in shape and maintain its capacity, even at an advanced age? The abundant supply of medicine called "antiaging" seeks to meet this legitimate objective. Ideally, the anti-aging medicine would allow us to live longer. But in practice it is primarily a question of improving the quality of old age.
In fact, the goal of conventional medicine, until now, was rather based on the fact of keeping patients alive, without taking into account the fact that they could be as "prisoners" in an aging body and weakened by years. Furthermore, conventional medicine intervened too late and only when the disease is reported with increasing age of the patient.
The anti-aging medicine can delay the onset of aging, and may also alleviate some diseases that are the result of gradual wear of our body. It is a preventive medicine that does not just apply to those over 50 years but also to those whose body shows signs of premature aging and whose biological age does not necessarily correspond to their chronological age.
The anti-aging medicine is by definition a semi medical discipline based on the use of scientific and medical technology to detect at an early stage, prevent, treat and reverse the functional impairment, disability and disease related to aging. Thus considered, it is not wear and tear that is the goal, but an accomplished age. The objectives are the maintenance of good health, maintaining physical and mental abilities and, for many, tending towards an ideal of beauty modeled on youth.
It is true that in the anti-aging medicine exist many fanciful theories. But it would be wrong to reduce it to its exotic fringe. Because it is primarily a model of extensive use of knowledge, diagnosis and treatment of advanced medicine. The problem it poses for medicine - because there is one - is the overuse of conventional medical arsenal. Or misuse of theories and treatments that were not validated in that particular field. From the anti-aging products that are use in large-scale, only a few have proven efficacy on Aging and, mostly, we know nothing of their negative long-term effects.
