The aging of the world's population and the health problems accompanying it are becoming increasingly severe. Healthcare policies in developed countries focus on how to prevent and treat diseases associated with aging and how to maintain quality of life. Typical age-related diseases include deafness, cataracts, osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and dementia. Although the mechanisms by which these diseases develop differ, they are all caused by the accumulation of molecular and cellular damage over time. In addition, age-related diseases can cause a decline in physical and mental functions and the ability to perform activities of daily living, as well as the loss of roles in society and a sense of fulfillment in life. Therefore, there is a need for treatment and measures to accurately grasp and maintain quality of life. This review aims to introduce areas and representative papers expected to be contributed to the special issue of "Aging and Quality of Life".
世界人口老龄化及其伴随的健康问题日益严峻。发达国家的医疗政策侧重于如何预防和治疗与衰老相关的疾病以及如何维持生活质量。典型的年龄相关疾病包括耳聋、白内障、骨关节炎、慢性阻塞性肺疾病、糖尿病和痴呆症。尽管这些疾病的发病机制各不相同，但它们都是由分子和细胞损伤随时间积累所致。此外，年龄相关疾病会导致身心功能和日常生活活动能力下降，以及社会角色丧失和生活成就感缺失。因此，需要采取治疗措施并准确把握和维持生活质量。本综述旨在介绍有望为“衰老与生活质量”特刊做出贡献的领域和代表性论文。
