ABSTRACT
There is an interesting divergence between the achievements of geriatrics and
gerontology. On the one hand, during the last 30 years physicians in many developed
countries have successfully prescribed several medicines to cure various symptoms
of senescence. On the other hand, the influence of such medicines on human life
span practically has not been studied. The most common of the relevant medicines
are nootropic piracetam, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), selegiline, Ginkgo biloba,
pentoxifylline, cerebrolysin, solcoseryl, ergoloid, vinpocetin, sertraline, and
estrogens, among others. Available data from human clinical practices and experimental
animal studies indicate that treatments with these drugs improve learning, memory,
brain metabolism, and capacity. Some of these drugs increase tolerance to various
stresses such as oxygen deficit and exercise, stimulate the regeneration of neurons
in the old brain, and speed up the performance of mental and physical tasks.
This means that modern medicine already has "antiaging" treatments at its disposal.
However, the influence of such treatments on the mean and maximal life span of
humans, and on the age trajectory of a human survival curve has been poorly studied.
The increase in human life expectancy at birth in the second half of the last
century was mostly caused by the better survival at the old and oldest old rather
than at the young ages. In parallel, the consumption of brain protective and
regenerative drugs has been expanding in the elderly population. We provide evidence
in support of the idea that the consumption of medicines exerting antiaging properties
may contribute to the increase in human longevity.
