Your age is your No. 1 risk factor for almost every disease, but it's not a disease itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Age is the single largest risk factor for an enormous number of diseases. So if you can essentially postpone aging, then you can have beneficial effects on a whole wide range of disease.
But do remember that the most important risk factor for cancer is growing older. Most cancers occur in people over the age of 65.
Old age is not a disease - it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
With age comes the understanding and appreciation of your most important asset, your health.
The hope is that if we can increase youthfulness, we can postpone age-related diseases.
The age factor means nothing to me. I'm old enough to know my limitations and I'm young enough to exceed them.
I am in control of how I age, and I am in control of my health.
Knowing how to age and not being afraid of aging is very healthy.
Most people look at ageing as a disease. They do. They have prescriptions and places where you go to eradicate it.
All diseases run into one, old age.
