We explore aging as a global phenomenon, questioning whether it constitutes a treatable condition or follows a natural course. Acknowledging its multifactorial nature, we delve into the challenges and opportunities inherent in this intricate biological process. The inclusion of old age in the 11th International Classification of Diseases sparks debate, categorizing it as a disease based on mechanistic explanations, blood-based biomarkers, and anti-aging products. Ethical dilemmas arise, emphasizing the difficulty of defining the transition from normal to pathological states during this process. We suggest that aging should be regarded as a treatable condition without necessarily labeling it a ‘disease.’ While anti-aging research unveils promising interventions like Metformin, Rapamycin, and cellular therapy, achieving biological immortality remains a formidable challenge. The future promises to prolong life and enhance quality by comprehensively understanding aging's implications for human health.

Background and objective
Frailty in older adults is a geriatric syndrome that has gained importance in the last decade. However, there is still no consolidated information regarding diagnostic tools that allow timely identification, and therefore, provide an appropriate therapeutic approach. The objective is to determine the Thickness of the Rectus Femoris Muscle (GMRF) and Thickness of the Vastus Intermedius Muscle (GMVI) in older Mexican adults with frailty and sarcopenia.
Material and methods
Cross-sectional, descriptive and comparative study in patients ≥65 years of age, admitted to the geriatrics service. The selection was according to the FRAIL (frail vs. non-frail) and SARC-F (high risk vs. low risk) classification; evaluating GMRF and GMVI by ultrasound. The data were analyzed through the statistical software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) ver. 25.
Results
The number of patients evaluated in the study and control group were 136 respectively. Significant differences were found regarding frailty status in age (years) (Frail: 75.06 ± 7.92 vs. Non-frail: 71.60 ± 5.56; P<.001), GMRF (mm) (Frail: 8.41 ± 3.08 vs. Non-frail: 11.03 ± 3.50; P<.001) and GMVI (mm) (Frail: 6.53 ± 2.64 vs. Non-frail: 8.66 ± 2.68; P<.001); Considering sarcopenia, there were differences in age (years) (High risk sarcopenia: 75.17 ± 7.84: vs low risk sarcopenia; 71.49 ± 5.60; P<.001), GMRF (mm) (high risk sarcopenia: 8.45 ± 3.11 vs low risk sarcopenia: 10.98 ± 3.50; P<.001) and GMVI (mm) (High risk Sarcopenia: 6.67 ± 2.63 vs Low risk Sarcopenia: 8.52 ± 2.79; P<.001).
Conclusions
The results found show that there is a significant difference in GMRF and GMVI in Mexican older adults with respect to frailty and sarcopenia. In this way, the present investigation establishes clinical bases for the use of ultrasonography assessments in the geriatric population.

The aim of this review was to know the existing scientific production on therapeutic exercise in older adults. A bibliographic search was carried out on 2023 January in Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and Sportdiscus databases. Selection criteria were: people aged 65 and above, healthy or with any pathology, and therapeutic exercise programs exclusive or associated with other complications. Language, publication date, and study design were not limited. Data extracted were: year, study type, design and methodology, country of the study and specialty of the journal where it was published.
1094 studies were obtained from 1967 to 2021. The scientific production had a slow evolution until the 2010s when the number of articles began to be significant. According to the types of study, 6.9% were systematic review, 90% research studies, 0.5% opinion studies, and 2.6% other types of studies. The most abundant specialties are geriatrics and gerontology (38.8%), and rehabilitation (16.1%), concentrating more than 50% of the total production. According to the study countries, only 4 concentrated 50% of the publications: the United States (29.16%), Australia (7.95%), Canada (7.31%) and the United Kingdom (6.95%).

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is considered a decline in cognitive functions, which becomes more pronounced with age. These patients may benefit from cognitive treatments that help attenuate or slow down a potential progression towards dementia.
Objective
To assess the feasibility, fidelity, satisfaction, and effectiveness of the Memory Training and Cognitive Stimulation Program (PEMEC, by its Spanish acronym) in individuals with MCI in an online setting.
Method
A non-probabilistic convenience sample of 14 patients with MCI received the PEMEC (PEMEC online) through an electronic device, were assessed with MoCA, NEUROPSI Brief, Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale before and after treatment, comparing these measurements with those of a waiting list control group.
Results
92,85% completed the treatment; with an average of 92% fidelity to the original intervention, an average of 91,61% for satisfaction with the activities of each session and the perceived usefulness was 97,98%. Statistically significant differences were found in the NEUROPSI Brief and the MoCA, before and after treatment in the intervention group and, when comparing the scores with the waiting list control group, a statistically significant difference was found in the MoCA scores.
Conclusion
Following the cultural adaptation of the program (from a Spanish to a Mexican treatment group), these results establish a precedent that systematic group cognitive interventions are feasible and effective in virtual tele-neuropsychology contexts for older adults.
