[The TA-Swiss study on anti-aging medicine].
A comprehensive study of "anti-aging medicine" was conducted including a literature review and survey as well as interviews of international experts, practitioners and clinics in Switzerland, Japan and the United States. The objective of the study was: 1) to provide state of the art theoretical background and empirically validated anti-aging interventions; 2) to assess their impact and risks; 3) to provide recommendations for researchers, professionals and decision-makers. Anti-aging medicine claims to be an individualized and futurist medicine, that focus on prevention, early detection and treatment of age-related pathologies, using latest medical technologies. Anti-aging medicine holds risks and opportunities, making it necessary to regulate, educate and carefully integrate anti-aging medicine's blooming global expansion.
