The
WAAAM is dedicated to the protection
and preservation of the health of
the public, and the advancement of
education in connection with anti-ageing
medicine.
By promoting understanding and research
into anti-aging medicine, it is hoped
that the speciality will become better
established in the UK and abroad.
The wider use of anti-aging therapies
should lead to general relief from
the effects of degenerative disease,
as well as a reduction in the economic
burden of treating and caring for
sufferers.
The
benefits derived from the increased
use of anti-aging therapies and techniques
could be immense. If biological ageing
can be delayed, or even reversed,
humans could live longer, healthier
lives, without the quality of their
later years being impaired by the
onset of degenerative disease.
The WAAAM was incorporated on 15
August 2001 in England/Wales. It is
not a commercial profit-making organization
and is registered with the UK Charity
Commission. The Academy has been established
with the support and active involvement
of the board of the American Academy
of Anti-Aging Medicine
