Abstract

The world has entered an aging society, and it is expected that the global population aged 60 years or older will reach 1.5 billion by 2035. Aging is gradually becoming a major public health issue, posing a significant challenge to healthcare systems. It is a complex natural physiological process involving the irreversible degeneration of body cells, tissues, and organs, and it is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases.
