I think that the oversimplification that most people make with regard to the difference between diseases on the one hand and aging on the other hand is an extraordinary damaging over simplification, because it makes people unjustifiably over-optimistic about the possibility of curing age-related phenomena that they do think of as diseases, let's say Alzheimer's or cancer, most cancers, or osteoporosis, or whatever, but it makes them also over pessimistic about medical advances to prevent and preempt the aspects of age-related ill health that they don't think of as diseases, like loss of muscle or a decline in function of the immune system, or whatever.
