The article considers modern biological manifestations of human insufficiency and ways to overcomethem. The global epidemic of non-communicable diseases, which significantly reduces both lifespan and quality of life, is supposed to be the fundament of modern human biological insufficiency. It is shown that in spiteof the modern advances in biomedical technology, medicine is far from the full implementation of its regenerative direction, clinical application of epigenomics and biogerontology. Non-communicable diseases are extremely complex in their nature, but, at the same time, the majority of them are strongly determined by the lifestyle. Nowadays active medicalization of lifestyle is taking place. This process cannot be evaluated only asnegative: it means the increasing consciousness of people in regard to their health. In the situation of «inhibition» of new technologies’ introduction into clinical practice, the main line of overcoming the global epidemic should be connected with the rapid development of predictive and preventive forms of medicine, which is an example of the need for the society’s movement towards conscious management of its biology.References
