Anti-Aging Medicine and the Cultural Context of Aging in Australia
This paper explores the management of the aging body within the anti-aging discourse and its implications on notions of successful and healthy aging policies. By looking at some of the preliminary findings of our current study of anti-aging medicine in Australia, including interviews conducted with stakeholders in the anti-aging debate, this study explores some recurrent values and perceptions regarding anti-aging medicine, the renegotiation of boundaries between illness and health, and the social, cultural, and economic forces shaping understandings and practices around aging and decisions to use anti-aging technologies
