Thanks for submitting your research request to our forum.
I have done some preliminary research but could not identify anything
interesting enough.

Could there be alternative definitions for this market?
What else could it be called?

thanks,

This is in longevity.  Also called anti-aging but not to be confused
with looking younger which is the domain of cosmetic medicine/surgery.
 The key organisations in the US seem to be the life extension
foundation http://www.lef.org and the american academy of anti-aging
medicine http://www.worldhealth.net/
In australia first mover was Redwood http://www.defy-ageing.com.au.
I'm trying to put together the framework of a business plan and get a
handle of what's out there.  Most of the treatments use mix of
supplements and hormones and nutritional programs.
