Abstract:
Aging is physiological and begins very early. It can be accelerated by our lifestyle and by chronic diseases. There are over 300 "theories" of aging and many animal models have been developed ranging from yeast to more complex organisms. Civil age is not a reflection of an individual's physiological age. Starting from the age of 30 a decrease in organ function can be observed. The aging of an individual leads him to 3 states: vigourous, polypathological and dependent or frail. The state of fragility is reversible. We have to be an actor in our aging and no longer suffer it. The centenarians of the blue zones have achieved, culturally, active aging which has led them to successful aging.
