What is ageing?

Ageing can be defined as the impact of an accumulation of several molecular and cellular damage with time. About a decade ago, leading minds in the ageing field came up with the 9 hallmarks of ageing. These are determined by our genetics, but are also caused or aggravated by environmental factors and our lifestyle. Each hallmark eventually leads to age-associated pathologies. Address these hallmarks, you slow down ageing and ward off diseases.
