Summary Introduction
To review:
The relation between the process of aging and low weight.
Introduction:
Aging is characterized by certain structural as well as functional alterations that begin accumulating in an individual as time passes. It is a complex process that is explained by two different theories, namely mitochondrial theory and genetic theory. These theories support the idea that aging results due to a build up of free radicals and shortening of telomere length.
