Abstract
References

Aging can be described as a complex process characterized by decrease in function due to individual and environmental factors. Although there are many theories and ideas investigating various aspects of aging and aging process, all its aspects are still not fully explained throughout the decades of scientific research carried out. Revealing signs of aging by examining all the mechanisms, links and interactions between them should be explained and ways to a healthy and successful aging should be identified.
