This concept provides a basic explanation of the main physiological and pathological features of senescence, and delineates possibilities for “treating” it. Following an introduction to the emerging medical landscape, the increasing incidence of a new epidemiological group (age-related “chronic non-transmissible diseases”), and the multiple origins of aging, the book explores and characterizes the senescent cell, which is linked to benign and pathological age-related manifestations. In turn, the closing chapters discuss how to “treat” or “prevent” the aging process, underscoring the central role of physical exercise and caloric reduction as compared to new senolytic approaches. Appendices are also provided, and address circadian rhythms, telomere shortening, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and senescence in plants and bacteria. Given its scope, the book will primarily be of interest to geriatricians, but will also appeal to a wider range of clinicians.Practical Issues in Geriatrics,2509-6060GeriatricsGeneral practice (Medicine)Human geneticsGeriatrics/Gerontologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33150General Practice / Family Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H24003Human Geneticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12008Geriatrics.General practice (Medicine).Human genetics.Geriatrics/Gerontology.General Practice / Family Medicine.Human Genetics.305.26571.878Swynghedauw Bernardauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut782400BOOK9910337522903321The Biology of Senescence2510888UNINA
