Advanced age is the major risk factor for multimorbidity. Current clinical practice treats the individual age-related diseases, resulting in polypharmacy. Thus, targeting the biological processes that drive ageing could prevent both multimorbidity and polypharmacy.
高龄是多种疾病的主要危险因素。目前的临床实践针对与年龄相关的个体疾病进行治疗，导致了多种药物的使用。因此，针对导致衰老的生物学过程可能既可以预防多种疾病，也可以预防多种药物的使用。
