Abstract
Abstract
The percentage of elderly people in the world is increasing at an unprecedented pace; so it is in China, which has the world's largest population and a high ratio of the seniors (aged 60 and above) to working-age adults. The growing elderly population is presenting a major social challenge. Accordingly, it is not only imperative as a national strategic demand but also promises great scientific values to understand the biological process of aging, explore the mystery of healthy aging, delay the aging process, and treat the age-related diseases. This Perspective summarizes past and present advances of the basic and translational aging research in China and offers perspectives on future endeavors in this area.PDF全文下载地址:
