本文综述了近１０年有关中医衰老学说文献，概括为主虚说和主虚实说两大类。在对７种衰老学说评析的基础上，提出了脾肾两虚、胃肠郁滞致衰的观点，并强调了延衰应以补益脾肾、通腑降浊之通补兼施为法。

This paper sums up the literature related to the senility doctrines of TCM in the recent decade and points out that there are two large categories,i.e.deficiency doctrine and complication doctrine of both deficiency and excessiveness.On the basis of analysing seven kinds of senility doctrines,the authors proposes that senility is mainly caused by deficiency of spleen and kidney with complication of gastrointestinal stagnation.So, it is emphasized that to retard the progress of senility should be treated mainly with therapies of reinforcing spleen and kidney as well as of purging turbidity.
