Abstract:
      Aging of population is a major problem for all over the world. Since physiological functions are declining with aging, preventing age-related damage of physiological functions can increase healthspan. Physical dysfunctions can be “compressed” to a shorter period later in life through dietary restrictions, physical activity/physical exercise, cognitive training, drugs, etc. That is, prolonging healthspan and compressing morbidity are helpful in achieving optimal longevity.
