Overview
Aging presents risks of frailty and vulnerability as well as loss of energy and vitality. Identification of frailty factors and early intervention are critical, and geriatrics is working extensively with this knowledge. It is important to actively influence modifiable factors, such as lifestyle, exercise, sleep, and psychological balance, which remain valid pathways to optimize health and delay the onset of lifestyle diseases, with the goal of prolonging life, vitality, and resilience. According to current scientific knowledge, influencing cellular metabolism, preventing mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress also contribute to a longer and healthier life.
