RESUMO
A medicina antienvelhecimento visa a interferir no processo de envelhecimento humano biológico normal. Haveria base científica para justificá-la como especialidade médica e não ramo de ciências biológicas básicas? Esta revisão avaliou 110 artigos, dos quais nove artigos (8,2 por cento do total) em humanos. Apenas um desses estudos era randomizado e duplo-cego (Jadad 2). A categoria de recomendação e o grau de evidência desses trabalhos foram considerados como CII. Periódicos com fator de impacto acima de 1,110 publicaram três dos nove artigos. Dessa forma, não parece haver sólidas evidências científicas e/ou clínicas que justifiquem a aplicabilidade da medicina antienvelhecimento na presente prática médica.
ABSTRACT
The objective of antiaging medicine is to interfere in the normal human biological aging process. Is there any scientific basis to justify classifying antiaging medicine as a medical specialty and not a branch of basic biological science? This review evaluated 110 papers, nine of which (8.2 percent of the total) reported studies involving human subjects. Only one of these studies was randomized and double-blinded (Jadad 2). In accordance with their classification of recommendations and level of evidence, these studies were considered CII. Three of the nine articles were published in journals with an impact factor over 1.110. Therefore, there does not appear to be any solid scientific and/or clinical evidence that would justify the application of antiaging medicine in current medical practice.
