It does not matter because aging is already treated using a combination of several clinically-available drugs, including rapamycin. Whether aging is a disease depends on arbitrary definitions of both disease and aging. For treatment purposes, aging is a deadly disease (or more generally, pre-disease), despite being a normal continuation of normal organismal growth. It must and, importantly, can be successfully treated, thereby delaying classic age-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and neurodegeneration.Aging3067-3078https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC6286826biostudies-literatureDisease or not, aging is easily treatable.PMC6286826Blagosklonny MVfalseDisease or not, aging is easily treatable.Is aging a disease?
