Editorial Mission
Our editorial mission is to introduce our readers to the new sub-specialty of Age Management Medicine, understanding that some healthcare professionals are familiar with this concept and have already incorporated it into their practice, while others have expressed interest in related medical modalities but struggled with other terms that for one reason or another seem unpalatable or create negative imagery. Our concept of Age Management Medicine is that it is a proactive, preventative approach focused on preservation of optimum human function and quality of life making every effort to modulate the process of aging prior to the onset of degenerative aging. The basic tenets of Age Management Medicine are patient evaluation through extensive medical history, lifestyle assessment, physical examination and laboratory evaluation to establish personalized proactive treatment plans consisting of proper diet, exercise, stress management and appropriate medical interventions. We acknowledge those medical professionals who have pioneered in this area and our goal is to provide them and those who will follow in their footsteps with a reliable source of cutting edge information about Age Management Medicine which will assist in providing superior patient care, increased practice revenue and job satisfaction.
