    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Biogerontology
    • Lifestyle Medicine

    Background:

    • Aging is a natural process influenced by care and abuse.
    • Psychological responses to aging vary significantly.
    • Biologic age is a more critical indicator than chronologic age.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore factors influencing the aging process.
    • To differentiate between the concepts of growing older and being old.
    • To identify controllable factors for decelerating aging and improving life quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of factors affecting aging.
    • Analysis of the impact of lifestyle choices on aging.
    • Prioritization of key factors accelerating aging.

    Main Results:

    • Tobacco use (especially smoking) is the primary accelerator of aging.
    • Lack of exercise and obesity are significant contributing factors.
    • Abstinence from tobacco, regular exercise, and weight management decelerate aging.

    Conclusions:

    • Lifestyle choices significantly impact the aging process and quality of life.
    • Focusing on a long, useful, and meaningful life is more desirable than solely pursuing longevity.
    • Controllable factors like diet, exercise, and substance use are key to healthy aging.
