Estrategias para un envejecimiento exitoso / Strategies for successful ageing

En los últimos años ha habido un aumento en el interés por la medicina antienvejecimiento con un crecimiento de la industria de productos que prometen prolongar la vida y restaurar todo padecimiento o «defecto» producido por la edad. El entendimiento del envejecimiento ha evolucionado, dando cabida a la posibilidad de intervenir en diferentes vías metabólicas y celulares y así, retrasar la aparición de las enfermedades crónicas degenerativas que aparecen con la edad y que finalmente son las causantes de la vulnerabilidad que nos lleva a la muerte. Esperamos poder ayudar al clínico a orientar a sus pacientes, quienes ante la información abrumadora que reciben por Internet, acuden al consultorio llenos de preguntas, esperando recibir del médico la respuesta absoluta para aumentar su longevidad y calidad de vida. Este artículo analiza la actividad física, las dietas, los suplementos y fármacos que se están explorando como medidas antienvejecimiento y de los que múltiples estudios clínicos han arrojado resultados alentadores medibles y reproducibles (AU)

There has been an increase in the interest of anti-ageing medicine in the last few years, with a growth in the industry of products that promise to prolong life and restore all the suffering or «defects» produced by age. The understanding of ageing has changed over the years, giving rise to the possibility of intervening in different metabolic and cellular pathways, and thus, delaying the appearance of the degenerative chronic diseases that appear with age, and that are finally the causing factors of the vulnerability that leads to our death. It is hoped that we can help the clinician to orientate their patients, who, due to the overwhelming amount of information they receive by the Internet, arrive at the clinic full of questions, waiting to receive absolute answer from their physician in order to increase their longevity and quality of life.
