Who is it addressed to?
Healthy Aging Medicine is aimed at people over 35 years of age. Although age-related symptoms don’t usually appear at this point in life, their incidence is beginning to increase significantly, making it a good time to begin implementing preventative measures.
Prevention protocols are similar for women and men, although there are some obvious differences when it comes to analyzing biomarkers and addressing the program. In the case of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes, the protocols are almost identical for both sexes. Cancer prevention in women focuses on gynecological diseases and in men on prostate cancer, while colon and lung cancer prevention is the same for both men and women. Regarding musculoskeletal system diseases, although the incidence of osteoporosis is higher in women, its prevention should not be overlooked in men. Osteoarthritis and sarcopenia affect both sexes.
