Abstract :
This article is the initial step of a new project oriented to develop new strategies of evaluating the functional status of an organism in connection with age and discovering new remedies to reduce the rate of aging. Evaluating 38 parameters from 100 patients ranging in age from 20 to 80 years permits to see that the average value of all parameters is correlated with age. This finding will be translated in a new modeling methodology for aging based on an index constructed with this value.
