Available Models of Age-Related Diseases

- Cardiovascular diseases. For example, the primary hypertension animal model, myocardial infarction animal model, heart failure animal model, etc.
- Aging lung.
- Neurodegenerative disease. For example, models of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
- Multi-morbidity and frailty. For example, some chronic disease models include arthritis, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke. There are also frailty animal models.
