Age management medicine


Age management medicine, also known as longevity medicine, is a field of alternative medicine. It is not recognized by the American Medical Association.

Terminology

Other names for the field include "antiaging medicine", "regenerative medicine", and "longevity medicine".

Criticisms

Age management medicine is controversial. The field is underregulated and supported by insufficient scientific evidence. People who practice it open themselves up to legal liability on grounds of negligence–malpractice, warranty issues, and product liability. The use of growth hormone has been frequently recommended; however, such use is associated with cancer.
