| Dr. Harman proposed the "free radical
theory of aging" in 1954.
Picture taken in 2002 at the 9th Annual Conference for the International Association of Biomedical Gerontology in Canada. |
| The free radical theory of aging arose
in 1954 from a consideration of aging
phenomenon from the premise that a single common process, modifiable by genetic and environmental factors, was responsible for the aging and death of all living things. The theory postulates that aging is caused by free radical reactions, i.e., these reactions may be involved in production of the aging changes associated with the environment, disease and the intrinsic aging process. Dr. Harman. |
