There is a terrific story in MIT's magazine this month.
Language counts for a lot and a researcher is ok with naming aging as a "disease." In fact, the World Health Organization came close to naming aging a disease.
One researcher suggests aging is a cause for disease, not a disease itself.

I never thought of aging as a disease but maybe I should. A disease is something bad but aging is not in my opinion.
