This paper describes the Anti-aging Dock, which is a complete medical check-up facility focusing on assessing, degree of aging and an advanced form of the conventional Human Dock that aims to achieve early intervention in lifestyle disease and cancer. The Anti-aging Dock features additional programs to realize the early diagnosis of, and intervention in, pathological aging and deterioration of quality of life (QOL). Anti-aging medicine, which has been drawing increasing attention in recent years, is centered on improving people's QOL and achieving successful aging. This field brings forth all categories of science to identify the mechanism responsible for aging, and uses Anti-aging Dock to diagnose the level of aging, consider ways to attain successful aging, and practice anti-aging medicine. Results of a survey on healthy centenarians have revealed two important facts that their bodies have aged in a well-balanced manner, and that they have few weaknesses related to aging. People who present themselves at the Anti-aging Dock have their skeletal, muscle, blood vessel, neurological, and hormone ages evaluated, in addition to routine examinations. The goal of the evaluation is to obtain “optimal health”. Anti-aging medicine detects the weaknesses of aging that deviate from optimal health, and then correct and harmonize them. This is also the royal road to successful aging.
