If you’re a longevity enthusiast, I’ve got some news for you. After all of these years, aging itself is on its way to be officially classified as a disease. Of course, it’s taken decades of improving life expectancy and survival rates due to better living standards and lifestyles, but it is most likely worth the wait.

Nine classes of diabetes drugs were put to the test to determine whether or not they elongated patients’ lives or helped lower the risk of a major cardiovascular incident when compared to a placebo.
