At some point, the various measures of biological age currently under development and assessment will coalesce into some form of consensus measurement, largely agreed upon, the objections to its use minimal and circumstantial. At that point, a great deal of effort will go into assessing established and new interventions that might decrease or slow the progression of that consensus measure of biological age. It will likely take some decades for the back and forth of real time validation of interventions to treat aging to progress thereafter, but things will certainly become a great deal more heated once the research community agrees on how to best measure biological age. Meanwhile, it is certainly possible today for anyone to propose a measure and demonstrate that some interventions affect it, but …
A Glimpse at the Future of Preventative Treatment for Aging
