Chronological Attrition Countermeasure

Meaning

This clinical concept refers to any therapeutic or lifestyle intervention specifically designed to oppose or mitigate the predictable decline in physiological function that occurs with the passage of chronological time. It represents a proactive strategy in longevity medicine, focusing on sustaining the structural and functional integrity of tissues and organ systems against age-related degradation. Within the hormonal domain, these countermeasures often target the age-associated decrease in key endocrine outputs and receptor sensitivity. The goal is to narrow the gap between an individual’s chronological age and their functional biological age.
