Systemic Aging Deceleration is the comprehensive clinical and behavioral objective of slowing the rate of biological decline across all major organ systems simultaneously, rather than merely treating individual age-related diseases. This strategy is centered on modulating the fundamental molecular and cellular hallmarks of aging, aiming to reduce the overall velocity of the aging process. The outcome is an extended healthspan and a reduced biological age relative to chronological age.
Origin
This concept is a core goal of modern biogerontology, driven by the discovery that aging is a plastic process influenced by genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors. The term emphasizes the coordinated, multi-systemic nature of the intervention required to achieve a meaningful, broad-spectrum effect. It represents the pinnacle of preventative medicine.
Mechanism
Deceleration is achieved by intervening in conserved longevity pathways, such as those governing cellular senescence, mitochondrial integrity, and epigenetic regulation. Strategies often involve caloric restriction mimetics, senolytics, or agents that enhance DNA repair mechanisms. By targeting these upstream drivers, the intervention simultaneously supports the endocrine, cardiovascular, and neurological systems, thereby reducing the rate of functional decline across the entire organism.
