Conclusion: Towards a Biography of Aging.  aIn a society where youthfulness and vitality are highly valued, the quest for anti-aging solutions has become increasingly popularized in bio-medical gerontology. However, navigating the vast sea of information, products, and treatments can be overwhelming; there is limited academic rigor and theoretic critique from sociological perspectives. This book aims to demystify the concept of anti-aging and presents critical social approaches for maintaining a healthy life. By exploring the science, lifestyle factors, and power of bio-medicine, the book will provide readers with a comprehensive monograph to unlock the politics of anti-aging drawing from social approaches. 0aPsychology.963758 0aSociology.957193 0aGerontology. 0aSocial sciencesxPhilosophy.96080314aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology.96807524aSociology.95719324aGerontology.24aSocial Theory.9580502 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303157855708iPrinted edition:z978303157857108iPrinted edition:z9783031578588 0aInternational Perspectives on Aging,x2197-585X ;v4193085340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-57856-4  aZDB-2-BSP  aZDB-2-SXBP  c59389d59389
