Understanding the Definition of Aging
04:43 - 12:00 (07:17)
Aging is either a disease or a natural process that leads to a higher risk of developing diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and dementia. The definition of aging is based on the increase in the risk of death over time, while the different hallmarks are more focused on the molecular changes occurring in the body.

Summary
A PhD student in mathematics orders a taxi for five of them because in pure mathematics you count from zero, revealing the paradox that exists between theoretical mathematics and mental math. Understanding risk and death is part of the many different ways aging can be defined, however, the answer may vary depending on the scientist's point of view.

Summary
The biological definition of aging is looking at the individual components of the aging process. Scientists define different hallmarks of aging as a nitty-gritty molecular definition of aging that causes us to be more likely to get diseases, but we should normalize the idea that aging is something that should be cured.
