Pharmacological Anti-Aging Intervention

Meaning

Pharmacological anti-aging intervention refers to the use of specific, clinically validated pharmaceutical agents or compounds to modulate the fundamental biological processes of aging with the goal of extending healthspan and, potentially, lifespan. These interventions are distinct from hormone replacement therapy, often targeting the molecular pathways associated with longevity, such as mTOR, AMPK, or sirtuins. Clinical use of these agents is guided by evidence demonstrating their ability to mitigate the hallmarks of aging, including cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction. This field represents the cutting edge of translational longevity medicine.
