Anti-aging medicine, a.k.a. advanced preventive medicine, is the study of slowing down and/or reversing the processes of aging, with the ultimate goal to extend both the lifespan and health span.

Anti-aging medicine is a clinical specialty founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the prevention, early detection, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction and diseases. Anti-aging medicine is based on the scientific principles of evidence based medicine. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong healthy lifespan in humans.

The term "anti-aging" relates to the application of advanced biomedical technologies focused on the early detection, prevention, and treatment of aging-related disease. Anti-aging medicine complements regenerative medicine, as both specialties embrace cutting-edge biomedical technologies aimed at achieving benefits for both the quality and quantity of the human lifespan.

Some of the most promising biomedical technologies applicable to regenerative medicine that are currently the focus of intense scientific research are:

These potent emerging biomedical technologies offered by anti-aging and regenerative medicine have the potential to improve the quality and/or extend the length of the human lifespan.

Universally, those involved in healthcare and those whose fields of expertise intersect with healthcare issues, support anti-aging medicine as a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research into prolongation of the healthy human lifespan. Proponents of anti-aging medicine also cater to each individual's unique health status, and embrace practical applications of new research findings.

Public policy organizations and government agencies in a number of nations are now embracing anti-aging medicine as a viable solution to alleviate the mounting social, economic, and medical woes otherwise anticipated to arrive with the trend of unprecedented global aging.

Anti-aging medicine is currently practiced by thousands of physicians in private medical offices, as well as at some of the most prestigious teaching hospitals around the world. Involving a patient base in the hundreds of thousands worldwide, anti-aging medicine is achieving provable and objective results that beneficially impact the degenerative diseases of aging.

Anti-aging medicine is characterized by being:

Around the world, people are seeking medical guidance for ways to stay healthy, active, and vital well into their older years. As a result, the principles of anti-aging medicine and an "anti-aging lifestyle" are gaining rapid and widespread acceptance as a framework for lifelong habits for healthy living.
