About A4M
The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is a US federally
registered 501(c) 3 non-profit organization comprised of 22,000-plus
member physicians, health practitioners, scientists, governmental
officials, and members of the general public, representing over
105 nations.
The A4M is dedicated to the advancement of technology to detect,
prevent, and treat aging related disease and to promote research
into methods to retard and optimize the human aging process. The
A4M is also dedicated to educating physicians, scientists, and
members of the public on biomedical sciences, breaking technologies,
and anti-aging issues.
The A4M believes that the disabilities associated with normal
aging are caused by physiological dysfunction which in many cases
are ameliorable to medical treatment, such that the human lifespan
can be increased, and the quality of one's life enhanced as one
grows chronologically older.
The A4M seeks to disseminate information concerning innovative
science and research as well as treatment modalities designed
to prolong the human lifespan. Anti-Aging Medicine is based on
the scientific principles of responsible medical care consistent
with those of other healthcare specialties. Although the A4M seeks
to disseminate information on many types of medical treatments,
it does not promote or endorse any specific treatment nor does
it sell or endorse any commercial product.

worldwide, as follows:
• 85% of our membership are physicians (MD, DO, MBBS)
