Abstract: As aging causes many diseases, delaying the process of aging can prevent some of the diseases. Ovarian aging,a special type of organ senescence, is considered as the pacemaker of female body aging, which drives the aging of multiple organs and leads to several aging associated disorders. Hence, it is of great significance to investigate the mechanisms of ovarian aging and explore ways to delay the progress. This review attempts to discuss the latest advances in the molecular mechanisms of ovarian aging and the current status of preventive measures, in order to offer new insights into the prevention and treatment of ovarian aging and related diseases.

Key words: Organ senescence, Ovarian aging, Mechanisms research, Preventive measures
