Alzheimer is not aging, it is a specific disease. Same as cancer. Sure, advanced age can make you more susceptible to some diseases, but aging itself is not one.

Aging is the gradual accumulation of cellular and bodily damage. Nothing would do more for human health than having effective treatments for arresting and reversing that degradation.
