The Impact of Mitochondrial Quality on Life Quality
The quality and functionality of mitochondria significantly influence overall life quality, with a marked difference between senescent and healthy, stress-resilient mitochondria. Individuals may have the same quantity of mitochondria, yet those with a higher proportion of healthy mitochondria exhibit greater functionality and stress resilience. Importantly, both the quality and quantity of mitochondria are malleable, challenging the notion that aging leads to a predetermined decline in mitochondrial capacity. Instead, the observed reduction in mitochondrial function with age reflects common trends rather than an inevitable biological decline.
