A lasting dream of human beings is to reverse or at least postpone ageing. During the last years, an increasing number of scientific meetings, articles, and books have been devoted to anti-ageing therapies. This subject, full of misleading, simplistic, or wrong ideas, is very popular among the general public, whose imagery has been fascinated by all possible tools to delay ageing, getting immortality. Here, we discuss anti-ageing strategies aimed not to rejuvenate but to slow ageing and delay the onset of age-related diseases. These approaches should be able to substantially slow down the ageing process, extending our productive, youthful lives.
人类长久以来的梦想是逆转衰老，或者至少延缓衰老。在过去几年里，越来越多的科学会议、文章和书籍都致力于抗衰老疗法。这个充满误导性、过于简单或错误观念的主题在普通大众中非常受欢迎，大众的想象被所有可能延缓衰老、实现永生的工具所吸引。在此，我们讨论的抗衰老策略并非旨在让人返老还童，而是减缓衰老并推迟与年龄相关疾病的发生。这些方法应能够大幅减缓衰老过程，延长我们富有活力的青春岁月。
