The goal of biomedical research on aging is to prolong the useful and active lives of the elderly and to raise the quality of their lives. That can be accomplished if we understand the normal process of aging, the nature of diseases common to the aged, and the sources of and remedies for many of the painful disabilities suffered by the aged. The major systems within the body fail at different rates, depending upon the inherited characteristics and environmental experiences of the individual. One goal of biomedical research is to characterize, for the various organ systems of the body, the progressive loss of functions with age. Biomedical research on aging can be divided into three major areas: basic biological aspects of aging, the interaction of aging and disease, and the interaction of external, or environmental, influences and aging. Important elements in research on aging include: experimental model systems, the study of human populations, studies of alteration of life span, and resources and training needs.
