Aging is a part of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11)

Happy to share with you the publication of our correspondence article in “The Lancet Healthy Longevity”, entitled “Advanced pathological ageing should be represented in the ICD” 

By Ilia Stambler (ILA board member), Aleksey Alekseev, Yuri Matveyev, and Daria Khaltourina (ILA board member)

(free and open access)

https://doi.org/10.1016/S2666-7568(21)00305-6

The main message and fact of the work:

AGING IS NOW IN THE ICD AND CAN BE OFFICIALLY ADDRESSED AS A MEDICAL CONDITION!!!

And this can help address and improve aging health!

This inclusion was accomplished in a large measure thanks to longevity advocacy, in particular the years-long advocacy of the International Longevity Alliance and its core activists.

Hopefully our joint work, with the other co-authors and partners, will further stimulate this discussion and research.

More thoughts and details on our publication are in the explanatory article:
