Written and edited by experts in the field, this new volume examines recent progress in our understanding of the biology of aging, strategies that may extend health span, and the societal implications. The contributors examine the underlying molecular mechanisms that lead to aging and consider the process from an evolutionary perspective. They also explore how lifespan may be extended, resistance to aging-associated conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, and how society would benefit from increased healthspan.
