Cells in aged tissue are characterized by a state of oxidative stress, the presence of excessive numbers of oxidizing molecules that damage cell structures by reacting with them. Oxidative stress goes hand in hand with chronic inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, both of which are also features of aged tissues. For any universal state of this nature, one can then link it to many varied conditions, even those that might initially appear to have very little to do with one another.
