Aging is a logarithmic risk function for not one but a whole variety of diseases: cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, etc. For example, high cholesterol raises the risk of heart attack by three-fold, whereas old age raises the risk by 1000-fold.

By targeting fundamental aging factors, researchers hope to delay or prevent the onset of all age-related diseases simultaneously.
