Geroscience is an interdisciplinary field of research that aims to understand the biological mechanisms of aging and how they contribute to the development of various age-related diseases and disabilities. The focus of geroscience is not just on treating individual age-related diseases, but on understanding the underlying biological processes of aging and developing interventions that can delay, prevent, or treat multiple age-related conditions at once.
