Aging, Health, Wellness Conference: For a better Aging Care April 22-23, 2019 Seri Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Aesthetic medicine is an inclusive term for specialities that concentrate on enhancing cosmetic appearance thru the treatment of conditions which includes scars, skin laxity, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, excess fat, cellulite, unwanted hair, skin discolouration, and spider veins. Aesthetic medicine incorporates both surgical and non-surgical procedures. Traditionally, aesthetic medication incorporates dermatology, reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery. Aesthetic medicine speciality isn't always constrained to dermatologists and plastic surgeons as doctors of all specialities seek to offer services to deal with their patient's aesthetic needs and desires

Theories of aging may be divided into classes: those that answer the query “Why do we age?” then that is an evolutionary theory of aging and those that deal with the question “How do we age?” then it is a physiologic theory of aging. These theories compete with each other, making it not likely that multiple of them could be true. Over time, a few theories have fallen out of favour as others have turn out to be more extensively accepted. Other theories, more properly referred to as hypotheses, are smaller in scope and address the question, “How will we age?” They try to provide an explanation for the mechanisms that affect how we and other species age, and it is possible that a number of them are concurrently true. Checking out these hypotheses is the current pursuit of most aging ¬research. Identification of the mechanisms that affect aging ought to cause interventions that slow or modify aging. Current research means that there may be a limited number of these mechanisms, giving scientists hope that their efforts may additionally one-day cause strategies that would assist us to lead longer, healthier lives.

Senescence is defined as the period when synthetic (anabolic) biochemical process gives way to a degradative (catabolic) process. In general, it is the phenomenon of aging. It is the gradual deterioration of functional characteristics. It is the inevitable fate of all multicellular organisms with germ-soma separation, but it can be delayed. The pattern of Senescence can be Cellular Senescence, Tissue Senescence, Organ Senescence, Organism or Whole plant Senescence

Choosing healthy foods may be a smart thing to achieve the ultimate goal of healthy and active maturing. Malnutrition is increasingly common within the older population. This can be a serious issue since malnutrition can be very terrible for health. Many individuals over the age of 65 are either under- or over-nourished. Among older individuals living in their own homes, almost 1 in 10 are suffering from under-nutrition. Many healthy older adults report that they skip at least one meal a day. For individuals over the age of 65 who become hospitalized, their risk of becoming undernourished may rise to as much as 60%. On the other hand, as much as one-third of individuals over the age of 65 endure from over-nutrition. That’s, they eat too much. The result could be a high rate of overweight and obesity in this age group.

Aging is the process of becoming older. Aging processes involves molecular, biochemical and biological mechanisms. In humans, aging represents the accumulation of changes encompassing physical, psychological, and social changes. For most human diseases aging is among the greatest known risk factors. The process of aging is driven at the cellular level by random molecular damage that accumulates slowly with age. Although cells mechanisms repair or remove damage, they are not fully efficient and their efficiency declines with age. No genes are known to have evolved specifically to cause damage; Aging is not a programmed process. In determining life-span the role of genetics is complex and paradoxical.

Life extension science is the concept of extending the human lifespan, both modestly – thru enhancements in medicine – or dramatically by way of growing the maximum lifespan. The potential to acquire such dramatic modifications, however, does not currently exist. Scientists believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation, stem cells, regenerative medicinal drug, molecular repair, gene therapy, pharmaceuticals, and organ replacement (which includes with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will ultimately allow human beings to have indefinite lifespans via whole rejuvenation to a healthy younger condition.

Law for old aged people is to strengthen and secure the legal rights, dignity, autonomy, quality of life, and quality of care of aging persons. It improves the quality of life for elderly people, including those who are poor or otherwise isolated by lack of education, language, culture, disability or other barriers.

Geriatrics is a special branch of medicine that focuses on health care of elderly people. It promotes health in older adults by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities. People who are growing old are more susceptible to several medical complications such as neurological, respiratory, orthopaedic and cardiovascular diseases. Geriatrics differs from adult medicine because it focuses on the unique needs of the elderly person. Geriatricians focus primarily in the context of multiple chronic conditions, and on preserving function. Elderly patients frequently require an assortment of services with medicinal services and different issues. Geriatric patients sometimes may require home care, which will be given by organizations that utilize nurses and other health care professionals.

Genetics of aging is generally concerned with life extension associated with genetic alterations, rather than with accelerated aging diseases leading to a reduction in lifespan. Several genetic factors are implicated in aging. A current study of biological aging shows that some aging-associated changes are programmed, whereas others are random and unpredictable

Aging is the process of becoming older. Aging can also be referred to as single cells within an organism which have ceased dividing (cell senescence) or to the population of a species (population aging). It represents the accumulation of modifications in an individual over time, encompassing physical, mental, and social modifications.

Gerontology is a multidisciplinary study that includes biology, psychology and sociology. It is the study of the social, cultural, mental, cognitive, and biological factors of aging.

Why do we age? This issue remains a major puzzle of science. Evolution is the process whereby genetic codes are adjusted, at first as the result of “transmission error.” Evolution is subsequently highly dependent on the details of the genetic communications and data storage scheme including the computerized benefits and confinements. In addition to clarifying why aging happens, the evolutionary hypothesis moreover gives knowledge into the mechanisms underlying the complex cellular and molecular changes that contribute to senescence, as well as an array of testable forecasts

The challenge of global population aging has been brought into sharper awareness. A number of nations are consequently reconsidering their pension and health care provisions, which account for as much as 40% of all government spending in superior economies. But population aging is an international phenomenon so that it will continue to have an effect on all areas of the world. By 2050 there might be the same number of old as young in the international, with 2 billion people aged 60 or over and every other 2 billion below age 15, each group accounting for 21% of the world’s population.

Cultural diversity plays an important role in aging. Culture describes a group whose individuals share common convictions, values, traditions, symbols, dialect, and socialization styles. As a person moves through the stages of life, he or she encounters an assortment of cultures through membership in families, occupations, communities, and services. Each culture contributes to the unique composition of a given person. Aging populations are getting to be more different in terms of colour, culture, character, inability, and socio-economic standing. As a result, the requirement for socially competent experts and businesses that serve and give products to older adults is progressively important.

Antioxidants are generally referred to as the molecules that reduce the probability of aging by neglecting or standardizing the level of oxidants with or without free radical activity. The so-called anti-oxidants molecules can be supplied through the dietary supplements or can be used as the constituents in cosmetics for the skin and they act as the key to long-lasting youth. The life span and the process of aging are interrelated in such a way that throughout the lifespan the aging process should be maintained slowly. The latest research has been carried out to treat the skin wrinkles with the nano-antioxidant formulations.

There is a fact saying that if you are too skinny, you will appear older enough and if you are too heavy you will age more quickly. So the maintenance of anti-aging strategies becomes very important. The main anti-aging strategy includes eating/diet, stress reduction, regular physical and age-appropriate tests and consistent exercise and sufficient sleep. One should know that beginning the anti-aging strategies at the early stage is more beneficial. The goal of anti-aging strategies is to replace the hormones that will naturally cause aging through hormone replacement therapy. HRT promotes a better standard of living.

It is most often found that the frequency of the diseases associated with aging is found to increase rapidly in relation to the process of senescence. Some of the diseases associated with aging include Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cataracts and arthritis. Aging generally increases the effectivity of these diseases whereas the genetics decides the occurrence of these diseases. Understanding the biology of senescence is very much important in understanding the age-related diseases. Greying of hair is also one of the important changes associated with aging.

Geriatric Management or Aging Care Management is the process of planning and coordinating the elderly people or the one with physical or mental impairments to improve their quality of life or meet their long-term requirements. Geriatric professionals have knowledge over psychology, family dynamics, public and other private resources to support elderly people. Geriatric care management generally includes healthcare management and the psychological care accompanying all the other kinds of needs such as housing, home care services and also any social and legal issues.

Technology plays a vital role in the welfare of elderly people like it improves the education and training in online technologies for elder adults and gains them access through online services. It helps the adults in treating with disasters and emergency situations. Due to the advancement in technology, we could see the advancement of telehealth innovations. It helps and supports in designing better products for the needs of elderly people.

Aging involves a change in lifestyle for most people and it's important to take care of mental health as well as physical health. There's an assumption that mental health problems are a 'normal' aspect of aging but older people don't develop mental health problems, and they can be helped if they do.  Most have good mental health; many older adults are at risk of developing mental disorders, neurological disorders or substance use problems as well as other health conditions such as diabetes, hearing loss, and osteoarthritis.

Mental health among older adults is a multifaceted concept that reflects a range of clinical research activity, rather than a unified theoretical entity.
