Abstract

One of the greatest challenges of medicine in old age is for physicians to understand the process of aging and to be able to distinguish it from disease, lifestyle factors and environmental exposures whose cumulative effects account for many of the changes observed in older people. As a result, physicians have a duty to recognize and intervene appropriately against age-related diseases.
