Fair enough, although WP:BIAS is shining through most of it—most notably in the pictures (which go from white to white to nonhuman to light-skinned Asian to light-skinned Arab/Somali to white to 19th-century neoimperial White diagram of the Ages of Man) but also in an extremely Amero/Eurocentric presentation of the entire topic, particularly the culture section that spans the gamut of humanity's thoughts on aging and immortality from (somewhat misattributed) Ancient Greece to the Hebrew Bible to Absolutely Nothing Else after 2 decades of work.
And... yeah, fair enough. The English wiki can just be the Anglosphere wiki and people can go to the 中文.维基百科.org, etc. for the way others might understand ages and aging as something outside Christian-Lite postmodern late capitalism. At least America is more multicultural than this article lets on. Then again it's in British English, presumably for historical reasons. xD
The reason why ageing was/is not a major topic in developing countries is because people mostly died of infectious disease such as cholera before they had the chance to become old. Furthermore, I suspect the prospect of early death increases the urge to reproduce to achieve immortality through offspring. In Africa the median age is 19, in Germany it is around 50. I would welcome your contribution on this subject, to diversify the article.2A00:23C6:54D3:DA01:C07F:B3B3:366F:D4A0 (talk) 10:05, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

In future, please do not use Ageing or any other medical articles for coursework. It is irresponsible to have non-experts place medically misleading statements online. For example, I am removing the word "stroke" from the Introduction, as the (juvenile?) editor is evidently ignorant of the fact that stroke is a cardiovascular disease. There are many more such problems which have been introduced after each year's "coursework". We medics cannot fix things fast enough before the next mistakes are entered. Thank you for your understanding. 37.5.242.95 (talk) 10:33, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
