This is one of the problems with anti-aging that isn't enjoying as much coverage. If you define aging as a disease, then you risk medicalizing and over-treating well people, which could harm their psyche and their sense of invincibility and competence to cope with the challenges of getting older. I think a lot of people in this sub would find interesting the books written by Nortin Hadler M.D., particularly this one. Also, if insurance payers such as Medicare don't view aging and it's sequelae as a disease, then these drugs are going to have an enormous out-of-pocket cost for consumers.
