About this title

Synopsis

Today the term functional longevity is used to emphasize the biological significance of the elderly. Population epidemiology indicates the inevitable increase in the elderly with uncertainty for the dignity of mankind in the future. This volume discusses the latest significant research on the molecular and cellular basis of ageing including the role of oxidative stress in the aging process and age-related degenerative disorders. It concludes with a section on practical approaches for functional longevity.
