Genetic Basis of the Ageing

Authors(s): Tara Akhtarkhavari, Dr. Hossein Najmabadi, Dr. Kimia Kahrizi

Year: 2014

According to current statistics, about 7.5% of Iran’s population is now elderly, and it is projected that by 2021 the number of older adults will reach ten million. At the same time, research shows that diseases for which increasing age is a major risk factor—such as neurodegenerative disorders, various cancers, hypertension, and arthritis—have the highest prevalence in this group, imposing a substantial financial burden on the national health-care system and underscoring the importance of studying ageing and investing in prevention. This book focuses on the molecular and genetic aspects of ageing, emphasizing that effective preventive genetic interventions are only possible through a deeper understanding of the genetic basis of senescence. It is the first book in Iran to systematically present the diverse genetic dimensions of ageing and to describe the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

To this end, the authors have intentionally used simple language and clear explanations to create a closer connection with readers.
