The wealth of new research about the science of ageing should help improve care for older people but is there a danger in over medicalising a natural process?

We asked medical academic and author of Ageing for Beginners Doug Wilson.

He's been reading two new books on the topic Elderhood: redefining ageing, transforming medicine, reimagining life and Lifespan: Why We Age - and Why We Don't Have To.

You can hear an interview with the author of Lifespan here
