Joy Kong, MD explains that biological aging, not chronological years, drives most chronic illnesses including cancer. Aging is accumulated functional decline. Policymakers don't yet recognize it as a disease, though some argue they should.
I don't know if you know, the aging process is what's driving all the chronic illnesses. Why is the biggest predictive factor of cancer age. Right. Or any other chronic illnesses? Age is the biggest predictive factor. It's because you're aging. So right now, the government is not recognizing aging as a disease, although there's a push to define aging as a disease. You're ill. Your illness is that you're getting older. It's not that you're accumulating in the chronological age. That doesn't matter. It's fantastic. But you're accumulating decline. You know, the declining factors, all the driving forces to push you to not function as well as when you were younger.
