Age-dependent changes of human homeostasis refer to the gradual decline of the body's ability to maintain a stable and balanced internal environment as we age. These changes affect various aspects of our physiology, such as metabolism, immunity, inflammation, and oxidative stress. These changes can also impair the function of vital organs, such as the heart, brain, kidneys, and liver. As a result, age-dependent changes of human homeostasis can increase the risk and severity of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, and cancer.

According to Schr?dinger's book What is Life?, life is characterized by a "script code" that governs cellular organization and heredity while apparently allowing organisms to suspend the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase . increase. He coined the concept and phrase "negative entropy" to describe the entropy that living systems export to keep their own entropy low. He also reflected on the nature of the genetic code and the role of quantum mechanics in biology.

Therefore, monitoring and modulating these "homeostasis" changes can be a potential strategy to prevent or delay the onset of chronic diseases and improve the quality of life in older adults.
