Biological gerontology

Biological gerontology is the scientific study of how and why humans age at the biological level. It examines the physical, biochemical, and cellular changes that occur over time, which influence health, function, and lifespan. Researchers in this field explore factors such as genetics, environmental impacts, and lifestyle choices to understand aging processes, identify causes of age-related diseases, and develop strategies to improve health and quality of life for older adults. Ultimately, biological gerontology aims to uncover ways to extend healthy lifespan and address the biological aspects of aging.
