Creator description · original textText language: English
The hallmarks of aging are the core biological processes scientists use to explain how and why the body grows older over time. In this video, we provide a science-based overview of the hallmarks of aging and explore how they relate to healthspan, longevity, metabolism, and the gradual decline in cellular function.

The hallmarks of aging include mechanisms such as genomic instability, telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, altered nutrient sensing, and chronic inflammation. These processes help researchers understand how aging develops at the cellular level and why biomarkers of aging can offer insight into long-term health, disease risk, and healthy aging. In longevity science, the hallmarks framework is widely used to study how aging affects resilience, metabolism, and overall physiological function.
