Lifespan BC Joins the International Longevity Alliance (ILA)

I am proud to announce that The Lifespan Society of BC has joined the International Longevity Alliance (ILA). The ILA is a consortium of 32 non-profit organizations from 26 countries. We are united in our journey to stop and reverse aging.

The Longevity Alliance (ILA) have recently made progress in getting aging classified as a disease in the International Classification of Diseases, ICD-11. This is significant because in the past, it was difficult to publish anti-aging research because there simply wasn’t the specific categorization of aging as a disease. The majority of scientists and doctors do not accept aging as a disease. In fact, they are publishing papers against the categorization of aging as a disease in the paper: Not a disease: a global call for action urging revision of the ICD-11 classification of old age.

International Longevity Alliance (ILA) members have published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity Journal: Advanced pathological ageing should be represented in the ICD.

There is also another correspondence article written by Evelyne Bischof, Andrea B Maier, Kai-Fu Lee, Alex Zhavoronkov, and David Sinclair with the exact same title in support of aging as a diseased under ICD-11.

Anti-aging researchers are aided by being able to classify aging as a disease under a specific code (MG2A) within the International Classification of Disease.
