How aging causes osteoarthritis: An evolutionary physiology perspective
15 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Late-life diseases result from the poorly understood process of senescence (aging), which is largely genetically determined. According to a recently proposed evolutionary physiology-based account, the multifactorial model, senescence is largely caused by evolved but non-adaptive programmatic mechanisms specified by the wild-type (i.e. normal) genome.
