Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 5
Abstract
It is difficult to identify the specific biological mechanisms causing aging as aging is a diffused process involving multiple organs due to multiple factors and aging is very slow and long term process. But it is important to understand the same in order to comprehend and manage age related diseases which are main causes of mortality in developed countries. It is also important to note that aging and lifespan differ among individual species and even among individuals of same species. Various theories have therefore been put forward to explain the complex process of aging
