 The goal of anti-aging medicine is to promote healthy daily living, improve quality of life (QOL), and thereby achieve healthy longevity. Anti-aging medicine is practiced by elucidating the mechanisms of aging and senescence through a multidisciplinary collaboration of science, determining the degree of aging through an anti-aging medical checkup, and identifying the best approach to achieve healthy longevity. Specific objectives include freeing more elderly people from the need of nursing care, preventing them from becoming bedridden or demented, and preventing cancer. People are exposed to various adverse lifestyle factors that may hamper healthy longevity and impair QOL, such as lack of exercise, obesity, poor dietary habit, stress, sleep problems and smoking. A better understanding of these factors is important for the implementation of life therapies, such as diet/exercise therapy and psychotherapy.<br> The body is composed of various tissues, viscera and organs, which do not age uniformly. For people in their late 30s, age-related, pathological degenerative changes (weak points of aging) start to occur in some parts of the body, which may lead to diseases and negatively affect other healthy parts of the body. The best approach to healthy longevity is to promote uniform and balanced aging of the whole body.<br> The degree of aging is assessed by determining muscle, vascular, neural, hormone and bone ages; the most aged part of the body will be identified as the primary focus of treatment, with the aim to achieve balanced aging of the whole body. In addition, among the risk factors for accelerated aging, such as immunological stress, oxidative stress, psychosomatic stress, glycative stress and poor lifestyle, the most significant factor will be determined and set as the primary target of treatment. The mode of aging varies among individuals. Medical care aimed at achieving healthy longevity should be provided for each patient according to a personalized anti-aging treatment plan based on the appropriate aging assessment.
