QUESTION10- Secondary ageing
ANS- Secondary aging processes result from disease and poor health practices (e.g. no exercise, smoking, excess fat and other forms of self-damage) and are often preventable, whether through lifestyle choice or modern medicine.
It was with some pleasure that I noticed the phrases "primary aging" and "secondary aging" have lately worked their way into the wider science press. I think this demonstrates that the public conversation about anti-aging, longevity research and strategies such as calorie restriction has advanced to the point at which more precise and careful language is needed - which means more people are talking, thinking about the topic, and asking sensible, intelligent questions.
