There is no doubt that prostate cancer is a disease. Then, according to hyperfunction theory, menopause is also a disease. Like all age-related diseases, it is a natural process, but is also purely harmful, aimless and unintended by nature. But exactly because these diseases (menopause, prostate enlargement, obesity, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, presbyopia and thousands of others) are partially quasi-programmed, they can be delayed by slowing aging. Is aging a disease? Aging is a quasi-programmed disease that is partially treatable by rapamycin. On the other hand, aging is an abstraction, a sum of all quasi-programmed diseases and processes. In analogy, the zoo consists of animals and does not exist without animals, but the zoo is not an animal.
毫无疑问，前列腺癌是一种疾病。那么，根据功能亢进理论，更年期也是一种疾病。与所有与年龄相关的疾病一样，它是一个自然的过程，但也是纯粹有害的、无目的的和自然无意的。但正是因为这些疾病（更年期、前列腺增生、肥胖、动脉粥样硬化、高血压、糖尿病、老花眼和数千种其他疾病）部分是准程序化的，它们可以通过减缓衰老来延迟。衰老也是一种疾病吗？衰老是一种准程序化的疾病，部分可以通过雷帕霉素来治疗。另一方面，衰老是一种抽象的概念，是所有准程序化疾病和过程的总和。类比地说，动物园由动物组成，如果没有动物，动物园就不存在，但动物园不是动物。
