Can aging research generate a theory of health?

History and philosophy of the life sciences - 25 Mar 2021

Sholl Jonathan

Abstract excerpt

While aging research and policy aim to promote 'health' at all ages, there remains no convincing explanation of what this 'health' is. In this paper, I investigate whether we can find, implicit within the sciences of aging, a way to know what health is and how to measure it, i.e. a theory of health. To answer this, I start from scientific descriptions of aging and its modulators and then try to develop some...
