Aging is a complex process characterized by a gradual decline in physiological function. The hallmarks of aging are classified into three categories, each describing different aspects of the aging process: | |||
# '''Primary Hallmarks''': These are considered the main causes of cellular damage leading to aging. They are the initiating factors that, over time, drive the functional decline seen in aging cells and tissues. | # '''Primary Hallmarks''': These are considered the main causes of cellular damage leading to aging.
