ResumoThe concepts of "anti-aging" and "anti-aging medicine" in particular are hotly debated now, both in the mass media and among some researchers. This paper represents an open discussion of anti-aging terms and related ideas by nine leading experts in the field of aging studies, and it describes in detail the arguments presented by both supporters and opponents of these concepts. Candid exchange of opinions makes it clear that more efforts are required before a consensus on these issues can be reached. The paper also presents evidence that the term "anti-aging" is routinely used now in scientific literature as a legitimate scientific term, including even the titles of publications in reputable scientific journals, written by established researchers.
