OUR RESEARCHES

In the United States, The National Institute of Health (NIH) created a Bethesda in 1993 a specific structure for the study and the therapy of Aging (National Institute on Aging), for the necessity of facing this subject in an effective and articulated way. In December 2000, we went to NIA where we were pleased to meet the Director Dr. Frank Bellino. He confirmed us what we have already known, that is that the way to reach appreciable results, which could be transferred in the clinical practice about genetic modifications, is still very long (not less than 15 years) and that it was better to address our therapeutic and diagnostic zeal toward external factors, because we can already work on them in a good way.

Starting from that, the ARPA Centres adopted a multidisciplinary approach which studies the Aging problems.Advanced specialistic analysis define the real biological age, which is often different from the anagraphic age, through the identification of the organism districts which are more struck by Aging(cerebral, immune, cardiovascular, cutaneous). Personalized therapies are prepared from the obtained data to prevent cellular damages and to treat the damaged sectors.

The Medicine principle primum non nocere is up-to-date in our Centres. The aim of our treatments is to optimize the running of the Systems which control our organism, restoring the right life habits (psycho-physical balance) and rectifying altered parameter (neuro-endocrinal- immunologic) through endopharmacological principles.

The existing bibliography is scanty and it tells that it's possible to obtain the differences between the biological and anagraphic age which are more than 12 years. Surely the very high number of examined parameters makes these kinds of possibilities very remote facing a greater reliability of data. A valuation of the patients which have been examined till now in the different centres, show us that we have an improvement of the general conditions and moreover of the psycho-physical abilities of the individual in the 90% of the cases. The partial elaborations of biological age have shown us some reductions even of four years after 12 months as to the anagraphic age, considering that, after one year, the anagraphic age has naturally increased of one year. In short, ARPA Anti Aging Program politic is that of adopting only therapies which are able to improve our organism as a whole, without determining detrimental side effects and with the aim of living better and longer.

Our checks and the following therapies aren't part of geriatrics and gerontology, which are disciplines concerning with the infirmities of old age and/or of generic problems of old people like the social fitting up and the architectonical barriers.
