摘要：

Agingis an inevitable biological process characterized by the progressive decline ofphysiological functions and an increased susceptibility to age-relateddiseases. As one of the world's most consumed beverages, tea is renowned notonly for its rich flavor but also for its diverse health benefits. Abundant inbioactive compounds, tea exhibits a wide range of therapeutic properties,including antioxidant, cardioprotective, and anticancer effects. Accumulatingevidence suggests that tea and its functional components hold significantpromise as potential anti-aging interventions. Epidemiological studies indicatethat regular tea consumption may mitigate the adverse effects of aging and alleviatesymptoms of age-related disorders. These benefits are primarily attributed totea's ability to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, modulatemitochondrial function and nutrient-sensing pathways, maintain gut microbiotahomeostasis, inhibit telomere shortening and cellular senescence, and enhanceautophagy. This review comprehensively examines the interplay between tea, itsbioactive constituents, and their multifaceted roles in extending lifespan,ameliorating age-related diseases, and the underlying molecular mechanismsinvolved. By elucidating the scientific basis of tea's anti-aging properties,we aim to provide valuable insights for future research and the development ofnovel strategies to promote healthy aging.
