International Consortium to Classify Ageing related Pathologies (ICCARP) senescence defnitions: achieving international consensus
Emma Short, Robert T.R. Huckstepp et al
It is paramount that the language used in the scienitifc and medical literature is clear and unambiguous to ensure shared understanding amongst researchers, clinicians, and policymakers. The aim of the ICCARP is to develop a systematic and comprehensive classifcation system for ageingrelated changes including pathologies, diseases, and syndromes. Currently, the ICCARP is in the process of identifying all phenomena that meet the criteria for ageing-related pathologies, to develop proposals for grouping and naming them within a comprehensive classification system. We expect that these defnitions, and subsequent classifcations, will contribute to improving discourse, research methodologies, clinical diagnostics, and public health planning.
