A specialized medical discipline that fundamentally shifts the clinical focus from passively treating age-related disease to actively intervening in the core biological processes of aging itself. The primary goal is to extend the period of peak health and function, known as healthspan. This involves the systematic, early detection and aggressive modulation of key aging biomarkers.
Origin
This term represents the crucial evolution of traditional preventative medicine, integrating cutting-edge advances in genomics, endocrinology, and cellular biology into a forward-looking, interventional model. It moves decisively beyond passive monitoring to active, personalized physiological optimization for the long term.
Mechanism
The core mechanism involves comprehensive, longitudinal tracking of established aging biomarkers, including telomere length, epigenetic clocks, and key hormonal profiles, such as DHEA-S and growth hormone. Interventions are strategically deployed to enhance cellular repair mechanisms, optimize mitochondrial function, and maintain youthful endocrine signaling. This concerted effort is designed to slow the rate of measurable biological aging.
