Aging is an irreversible and natural phenomenon that occurs as a person ages. Anti-aging medicine applies advanced science and medical technology to early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunctions, disorders, and diseases. Therefore, anti-aging diagnostic medicine and healthcare are important factors in helping the elderly population lead healthy and active lives. However, it is challenging to diagnose various aging and related diseases accurately through various forms of anti-aging diagnostic medicine and health management. It may not be treated appropriately, so many older people are making various efforts to prevent aging themselves in advance. Therefore, anti-aging medicine and health care have been developed in various forms, from health checkups to alternative medicine and biophysical technology beyond simple clinical medicine, and are being applied to demand the needs of the elderly. This review intends to explore and characterize various applications related to anti-aging medicine and healthcare in the elderly. In addition, economic, medical, and ethical considerations arising from the relationship between the increase in the elderly population and the continuous development of anti-aging medicine can be considered.
衰老是一种随着人年龄增长而出现的不可逆转的自然现象。抗衰老医学运用先进的科学和医疗技术，对与年龄相关的功能障碍、失调和疾病进行早期检测、预防、治疗及逆转。因此，抗衰老诊断医学和医疗保健是帮助老年人群体过上健康且积极生活的重要因素。然而，通过各种形式的抗衰老诊断医学和健康管理准确诊断各种衰老及相关疾病具有挑战性。可能无法得到恰当治疗，所以许多老年人自己提前做出各种预防衰老的努力。因此，抗衰老医学和医疗保健已发展出多种形式，从健康检查到替代医学以及超越简单临床医学的生物物理技术，并被应用于满足老年人的需求。本综述旨在探索并描述与老年人抗衰老医学和医疗保健相关的各种应用。此外，还可考虑老年人口增长与抗衰老医学持续发展之间的关系所引发的经济、医学和伦理考量。
