claimWhile certain interventions, such as low-dose aspirin prophylaxis [] in high-risk women, have shown some efficacy in reducing the risk of preeclampsia, there remains a need for additional measures to prevent the development of severe disease in women with early-onset preeclampsia, particularly in resource-constrained settings where the burden of disease is greatest [].

claimCurrently, the only cure for preeclampsia is delivery of the fetus and placenta [,] however, this is commonly associated with iatrogenic preterm delivery.

claim1 Aging is characterized by progressive physiological decline, including loss of skeletal muscle mass and function (Sarcopenia), reduced mitochondrial efficiency, and increased oxidative stress, all of which contribute to frailty and diminished quality of life in older adults ().
