[[File:The Nine Hallmarks of Aging.jpg|thumb|The original nine hallmarks of aging as proposed by López-Otín and colleagues in 2013{{pmid|23746838}}]]
Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of physiological integrity, leading to impaired function and increased vulnerability to death. The '''hallmarks of aging''' are the types of biochemical changes that occur in all organisms that experience biological aging and lead to a progressive loss of physiological integrity, impaired function and, eventually, death. They were first listed in a landmark paper in 2013{{pmid|23746838}} to conceptualize the essence of biological aging and its underlying mechanisms.

| style="background-color:hsla(210, 100%, 85%);" |'''Disabled macroautophagy''', often referred as impaired or dysfunctional autophagy, is a condition where the cellular process of autophagy—specifically the macroautophagy pathway—is disrupted or less effective. Autophagy is a critical cellular process for degrading and recycling damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, and other cellular debris. Macroautophagy involves the engulfment of these unwanted materials into vesicles called autophagosomes, which then fuse with lysosomes where the contents are degraded and recycled. When macroautophagy is disabled or impaired, cells accumulate damaged proteins and organelles, leading to cellular dysfunction and contributing to various diseases, particularly those related to aging and neurodegeneration. This loss of a crucial cellular "cleanup" mechanism can result in increased oxidative stress, disrupted cellular homeostasis, and an acceleration of the aging process.

While originally considered under hallmark '''altered proteostasis''', autophagy regulates a number of other hallmarks of ageing such as DNA repair and nutrient sensing/metabolism{{pmid|29626215}}, and hence it was proposed to be categorized as an integrative hallmark.

| style="background-color:hsla(0, 100%, 85%);" |'''Deregulated nutrient sensing''' refers to the body's declining ability to properly manage and respond to nutrients, such as fats, sugars, and proteins, as we get older. Normally, our bodies have finely tuned systems that detect when we eat and use these nutrients efficiently for energy and repair. However, with age, these systems start to malfunction. This means our body might not handle sugars well, leading to conditions like diabetes, or it might struggle with managing fats, leading to issues like high cholesterol. Essentially, Deregulated Nutrient Sensing is when our body's 'nutrient management system' becomes less efficient and accurate with age, leading to various metabolic and health problems.

{{pmid|38095562}} explored the correlations between the aging hallmarks and the age-related diseases, as reflected in the number of documents in the CAS Content Collection. Generally, cellular senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid metabolism disorders, and inflammaging appear as related to multiple pathologies.

*Alzheimer disease–mitochondrial dysfunction correlation: Alzheimer’s disease is the most frequent source of age-related neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. A growing body of evidence implicates mitochondrial dysfunction as a common pathogenic mechanism involved in many of the features of the Alzheimer’s patients brain, such as formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.{{pmid|34063708}}

*Liver fibrosis–lipid metabolic disorders correlation: Liver plays a key role in lipid metabolism; therefore alterations in hepatic lipid metabolism can be a factor in development of chronic liver disease. Furthermore, chronic liver disease can impact hepatic lipid metabolism causing alterations in circulating lipid levels contributing to dyslipidemia.<ref>Arvind A.; Osganian S. A.; Cohen D. E.E.; C K.. Lipid and Lipoprotein Metabolism in Liver Disease. In Endotext [Internet]; Feingold K. R., Anawalt B., Blackman M. R., Eds.; MDText.com, Inc.: South Dartmouth, 2019. [Google Scholar]</ref> Likewise, the liver plays an essential role in lipid metabolism, certain steps of lipid synthesis, and transport. Therefore, abnormal lipid profiles and liver dysfunctions are expectedly closely correlated.{{pmid|22312394}}
