Longevity medicine is a set of preventive healthcare practices that rely on biomarkers of aging, such as aging clocks, to keep the patient's biological and psychological age as near to peak performance as feasible throughout life.[1][2] Biogerontology and precision medicine are some of the related fields.[1] As of early 2020s it is a "fast developing field", according to an article in a Lancet specialty journal.[1]

In the first decade of the 21st century, what was called "age management medicine" was considered a field of alternative medicine,[3] and, as of 2007, was not recognized by the American Medical Association.[4] Other names at this time included "antiaging medicine" and "regenerative medicine".[5] Age management medicine is controversial.[4] The field is underregulated and supported by insufficient scientific evidence. People who practice it open themselves up to legal liability on grounds of negligence–malpractice, warranty issues, and product liability.[6] The use of growth hormone has been frequently recommended; however, such use is associated with cancer.[5]
Age management medicine is often promoted by anti-aging practitioners specializing in nutritional supplements and hormone-replacement, a practice that may lead to harmful side-effects.[7]
