Well that's what scientists argue about, is aging a disease? No one thought so 20 years ago, today more and more do.
And age related diseases are, diseases created by another disease, aging. Or so I think. So very causually related indeed. IMO!
Cure aging, cure Alzheimers, dementia and (most of) cancer.
Sorry if I came off in an un-nice manner, I'm home sick, apologies.
