Editorial: Spotlight on aging: anthropological factors impacting physiology, prevention and management of aging conditions

Human longevity and the increased life expectancy have come with concerning burdens of ageing related non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including obesity, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Although people of all age groups, regions, and countries are affected by NCDs, these conditions are often associated with older age groups (WHO, 2021). Ageing is characterised by physical and mental decline of the human organism, which is a complex interaction between very diverse mechanisms of anthropometry and body composition, metabolic, hormonal, and neuromuscular. For example, most recent discoveries explained ageing development by associating relative bone mass changes and the growing body size with insulin production mechanisms throughout the life course (Lin et al., 2021).
