 Aging happens to all, and is generally considered as a natural part of life. It would seem silly to call

such a thing a "disease."

However, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things, and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and many more. In

that light, aging itself might be seen as something treatable, the way you would treat high blood

pressure.

Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease. He said that describing aging as a disease creates encouragement to develop treatments.

"It unties the hands of the pharmaceutical(制药的)industry so that they can begin treating the

disease and not just the side effects," he said.

"Right now,  people  think  of aging as natural and  something  you  can't control," he  said." In academic circles, people take aging research as just an interest area where they can try to develop

interventions(干预). The medical community also takes aging for granted, and can do nothing about it

except keep people within a certain health range."

But if aging were recognized as a disease, he said, "It would attract funding and change the way we do health care. What matters is understanding that aging is curable."

"It was always known that the body accumulates damage." he added. "The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage. I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions."

Leonard Hayflick, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan（寿命） can be increased, which some researchers

suggest is possible. Hayflick is not among them.

"There’re many people who recover from cancer, stroke, or heart disease. But they continue to age, because aging is separate from their disease," Hayflick said, "Even if those causes of death were removed, life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years."

衰老发生在所有人身上，通常被认为是生活中自然的一部分。打电话似乎很傻

这样的事情就是一种“疾病”

然而，科学家们越来越多地认识到，衰老和生物年龄是两回事，前者是心脏病、癌症等疾病的关键风险因素。在里面

光，衰老本身可能被视为是可以治疗的，就像你治疗高血压一样

压力

生物物理学家亚历克斯·扎沃龙科夫认为，衰老应该被视为一种疾病。他说，将衰老描述为一种疾病可以鼓励人们开发治疗方法。

“它解开了制药商的手(制药的)以便他们可以开始治疗

疾病，而不仅仅是副作用，”他说。

他说：“现在，人们认为衰老是自然的，是你无法控制的。”。“在学术界，人们把老龄化研究作为他们可以尝试发展的一个兴趣领域

干预措施(干预). 医学界也认为衰老是理所当然的，对此无能为力

除了让人们保持在一定的健康范围内。“

但他说，如果衰老被认为是一种疾病，“它将吸引资金，并改变我们的医疗保健方式。重要的是理解衰老是可以治愈的。”

他补充道：“人们一直都知道人体会积累损伤。”。“治愈衰老的唯一方法是找到修复这种损伤的方法。我认为这是治疗与年龄相关疾病的预防药物。”

加州大学旧金山分校教授LeonardHayflick说，衰老可以治愈的想法意味着人类的寿命(寿命） 可以增加，一些研究人员

建议是可能的。Hayflick不在其中。

“有很多人从癌症、中风或心脏病中康复。但他们仍在继续衰老，因为衰老与疾病是分开的，”Hayflick说，“即使消除了这些死亡原因，预期寿命也不会超过92岁。”
