The capacity to enjoy life well into your old age is sometimes denied by all kinds of degenerative diseases. Regrettably, the information you need to enable you to prevent the diseases is found in hundreds of scientific papers that are not easily accessible by the general public. The result is that most people suffer from the diseases and die prematurely while knowledge of how to prevent or cure their condition already exists. For the first time, the work of many world scientists concerned with the causes and preventions of degenerative diseases of ageing have been put together in a single book.

To the best of our knowledge, there is no recorded evidence of death from old age; majority of deaths are due to natural causes. The 2002 world report on Violence and Health published by the World Health Organization (WHO, Geneva) identified ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, lower respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, atherosclerosis and diabetes as among the 10 major causes of death in all 38 of its member states in the mid-1990s. Dr. Clayton, an eminent British scholar posited: if you can cut your risk of dyeing from these degenerative diseases, you automatically give yourself the chance of not just a longer life but a longer quality of life. The information on how to cut the risks of dyeing from the degenerative diseases is contained in hundreds of medical discoveries and trials published in internationally recognised scientific journals on which the book, “Degenerative diseases of ageing: causes and prevention”, is based.

The book presents the findings of studies of present state of knowledge regarding the causes and preventions of degenerative diseases of ageing using systematic review of scientific literature. A systematic review as used in the book involves a formalised approach to identifying and synthesising the results of research studies, especially controlled trials, and dissemination of subsequent information for the benefit of the general public. By using this approach, it became possible to review most of the world’s best-known scientific research on methods of preventing the ravages of degenerative diseases of ageing and extension of maximum life span. The outcome of the systematic review is presented in the five chapters of the book.

Reviews and endorsements:

“Recommended book for anyone, professional or lay person who ever wondered what growing old means physically and what they can do about it. Dr. Icheku’ s book, Degenerative diseases of ageing: Causes and Preventions provides an evidence based account of how to combat disease of ageing and improve overall quality of life as you are growing old.” By Dr. Nike Arowobusoye, M.B.B.S., MSc, (A member of the Faculty of Public Health, UK)

 “The chapter on stem cell research gives a clear outline of why this work is of interest in the field of regenerative medicine and many of the obstacles, both scientific and ethical that must be overcome for this work to realise its potential in the clinic.” By Dr. S.H. Cedar, Bsc.,Ph.D., Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Social Care, London South Bank University.

“Keeping physically active and good nutrition is the key to good health and long life span. In this book, Dr Vincent Icheku provides us with yet more compelling evidence in a well-researched piece of work. The book, “Degenerative diseases of ageing: Causes and Preventions” is a must read for anyone interested in remaining healthy and increasing his/her life span.” By Karen Thorne, Senior Lecturer, Exercise and Health, Faculty of Health and Social Care, London South Bank University.

“This is a much needed book in response to the present day quest for longevity. Dr. Icheku has responded brilliantly to this by providing a much-needed wealth of scientific evidence in support of the suggestions and advice he clearly and logically presented in this book. This is very much in contrast to the anecdotal perspectives frequently seen in magazines. Although some part of the book is a culmination of the scientific findings, but the whole book makes compelling reading about causes, consequences and preventive measures of degenerative diseases of ageing. There is something in this book for everyone.” By Chioma A Onyedinma-Ndubueze, Clinical Nurse Specialist (Haemoglobinopathies) and Senior Lecturer, Adult Nursing, London South Bank University.”
