It's like erosion, just the way things work.
The cells divide and replicate, keeping us young and healthy. But eventually, the parts of the genes that tell the cells how and when to divide and so on get "worn away." The messages aren't so clear, and the cells just don't divide as well. Aging.
That's a huge oversimplification, but it's really what happens. How we treat the body on the way plays a role, too, in how quickly it happens.

Living things don't last forever. There are a number of factors that contribute to how well you age, like what you eat and how good of shape you're in. But the body is always going to have wear and tear on it, and eventually, things just stop working.
Who knows, maybe in the future they'll invent a way to live forever -- I suppose aging would be considered a "disease" then.
But for now, it's neither a disease nor a syndrome!

It's not a disease or a syndrome or whatever you wanna call it. It's a part of human life. Which are all people are going to that stage no matter what kind of cosmetic suregery or chemical you put, you can't stop yourself from getting ageing. Unless you're immortal. Then you don't get age.

It is told that ageing is a disease in which the cells get weared up.And now many researchs going on to prevent ageing.

It is a process. Ageing is part and parcel od life. Cells have a sequences called the telomeres. Telomeres give stability to the chromosome. Each time cell divides, the telomeres is shorten til one point of time, the telomere is too short, the cell will stop dividing and this lead to aging.

Its neither. Its a biological consistency that everyone experiances and is considered natural. Diseases and Syndromes arent 'natural' per sa.
Diseases are natural in a way that they occur naturally in nature.
