That s the vaccination right there. Well, then, the economy of the country must be very bad, you can t focus on this. Well, no, actually we re the wealthiest country in the world. It s unthinkable, and individuals who are disabled are at greatest risk. Now let me address what I think is the brave new world of research in aging, a focus on senescence.
Senescence is different than aging.
Aging is the accumulation of additional years of life, and as long as we re all on the same planet, going around the sun at the same rate, we are basically aging at the same rate. Senescence refers to the biological changes and the physiological changes that occur with advancing age in the absence of disease. These changes influence the functional capacity of individuals, and particularly disabled individuals. As senescence proceeds, individuals who have spinal cord injury or severe arthritis, or other kind of disability, have progressive impairment related to senescence, that is in fact, interacting with their disability. They become increasingly dependent upon technological advances to help maintain their function.
