AnnotationOur susceptibility to disease increases as we grow older. Robert Butler and colleagues argue that, rather than targeting individual diseases, a concerted effort to slow ageing would provide a broad strategy for primary prevention that would greatly enhance and accelerate improvements in health at all ages. However, they do propose an increase in resources to research diseases such as type 2 diabetes, congestive heart failure, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease, osteoporosis and most cancers and how these interact with ageing.
