Today, people are living longer than ever before due to advances in education, technology, medicine, food distribution, and sanitary conditions. So, nowadays, it is not unusual to meet people who are in their 70s, 80s, 90s, and some who are close to 100 years old.

  Aging is one of the most complex and poorly understood phenomena known in science, despite the fact that it represents one of the most significant challenges of human longevity. Aging is a universal phenomenon; every single multicellular organism, from the simple bacterium to the complex human being, experiences it. Nevertheless, aging is a very complex and dynamic process. It encompasses a vast range of phenomena, which we have no clue as to how they interrelate, their mutual influence on one another, the interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic factors, the influence of the environment, and how this process impacts the organism. Thus, the study of aging is a complex and very difficult task, but it is an urgent and necessary challenge. Ageing or aging is the process of becoming older or we can say that it is the process in which structural and functional changes accumulate in an organism as a result of the passage of time. The changes manifest as a decline from the organism's...
