Abstract:
: The objective of the current study was to investigate how genetics influence the process of human aging, from birth to death, human aging is a continual process that involves changes in one's physical, social, psychological, and spiritual aspects. Even though aging is a continuous process, its value is viewed differently depending on where it is in the process. Certain developments, like a baby's first tooth or walk, are eagerly awaited. According to evolutionary theories, there are genes that confer a selection advantage early in life and have a negative impact on lifespan later in life (antagonistic pleiotropy theory). These genes are also known as longevity insurance genes (disposable soma theory). In almost all creatures, aging is a process that seems inevitable and results in a decline in function. Lately, cellular senescence has come to be recognized as a primary cause of aging as well as a characteristic of aging.
