title: Youth maintenance and postponing human aging in reality.
abstract: Let us define human aging as the random accumulation of damage in the human organism's cells, tissues, or whole organism during life that increases the probability of death. This definition opens ways to postpone aging via risk factors to health. Studies show that changes in aging have postponed aging 0.15-0.20 years every year in developed countries during the last ten years as a result of improving environmental factors. Postponing aging prolongs the period of youth and middle age. There are many ways to accelerate postponing aging. Our field studies have shown how to accelerate this process and prolong the onset of age-related diseases. Avoiding discomfort is important. The search for new and essential health determinants, including risk factors, is a prospective research direction for the future.
