Representing over 26,000 physician, scientist, and health practitioner members from 120 nations, The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is a non-profit medical organization dedicated to the advancement of technology to detect, prevent, and treat aging related disease and to promote research into methods to retard and optimize the human aging process. <\/p>\n
The A4M advances its prevailing commitment to consumer outreach by publishing its series of Anti-Aging Tip Sheets, sharing the best anti-aging tips to help enhance the healthy, vital, fit, productive lifespan. <\/p>\n
Anti-Aging Essentials, the newest in the A4M Tip Sheet series, presents the scientific evidence demonstrating the diverse health-promoting benefits of the tenets of anti-aging medicine. The A4M Lifestyle Pyramid is a pictorial display of how the tenets of the anti-aging lifestyle may translate into wide-ranging health benefits, including:<\/p>\n

Comments Dr. Ronald Klatz, A4M President: Since its founding in 1991, the A4M's scientific educational programs have trained over 100,000 medical professionals, and the organization's education and advocacy initiatives have expanded the availability of advanced biotechnologies and leading-edge preventive healthcare throughout the world. We are equally dedicated to public information, as anti-aging medicine is a grass-roots movement that is consumer-driven and patient-centric. <\/p>\n
Anti-aging medicine is a clinical specialty is founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans. Healthy aging, successful aging, and similar monikers merely rebrand the original term of anti-aging medicine, a clinical field that was established in 1991 by the physicians of the A4M. The goal of anti-aging medicine is not to merely prolong the total years of an individual's life, but to ensure that those years are enjoyed in a productive and vital fashion. The clinical specialty of anti-aging medicine utilizes diagnostic protocols that are supported by scientific evidence to arrive at an objective assessment upon which effective treatment is assigned. Physicians who dispense anti-aging medical care are concerned with the restoration of optimal functioning of the human bodys systems, organs, tissues, and cells. <\/p>\n
Researchers from the Imperial College London (United Kingdom) report that potentially 37 million premature deaths over 15 years may be prevented, simply if people modulated six specific modifiable risk factors. Various countries aim to reduce premature mortality from four main non-communicable diseases (NCDs)-namely cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, cancers, and diabetes. These nations have targeted to reduce these disease incidences by 25% from 2010 levels by 2025. Using country-level data on deaths and risk factors and epidemiological models, the researchers estimate the number of deaths that could be prevented between 2010 and 2025 by reducing the burden of each of the six risk factors to globally-agreed target levels -- tobacco use (30% reduction and a more ambitious 50% reduction), alcohol use (10% reduction), salt intake (30% reduction), high blood pressure (25% reduction), and halting the rise in the prevalence of obesity and diabetes. Overall, the findings suggest that meeting the targets for all six risk factors would reduce the risk of dying prematurely from the four main NCDs by 22% in men and 19% for women in 2025 compared to what they were in 2010. Worldwide, this improvement is equivalent to delaying or preventing at least 16 million deaths in people aged 30-70 years and 21 million in those aged 70 years or older over 15 years. The authors predict that the largest benefits will come from reducing high blood pressure and tobacco use. They calculate that a more ambitious 50% reduction in prevalence of smoking by 2025, rather than the current target of 30%, would reduce the risk of dying prematurely by more than 24% in men and by 20% in women. The study investigators submit that: If the agreed risk factor targets are met, premature mortality from the four main NCDs will decrease to levels that are close to the 2525 target, with most of these benefits seen in low-income and middle-income countries.
