Human aging encompasses the physical, cognitive, psychological, and social changes that occur throughout the human lifespan. It is influenced by genetic predisposition, nutrition, physical activity, environmental exposures, and socioeconomic factors. Human aging is marked by gradual declines in muscle strength, bone density, immune function, and cognitive flexibility, alongside increased susceptibility to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. Importantly, human aging is heterogeneous—individuals age at different rates and in different systems. Research in human aging focuses on identifying modifiable risk factors, understanding age-related diseases, and promoting healthy longevity through preventive healthcare, lifestyle interventions, and emerging geroprotective therapies.
