虽然抗衰老药物可以通过控制人类衰老的努力来定义，但利用抗衰老药物的个人动机被证明是多方面的。对15名使用过抗衰老药物的人进行的定性深入访谈显示，转向抗衰老药物可能更多的是对对抗疗法的幻灭，而不是控制身体衰老。通过将人们在其终身身体养生“职业生涯”中使用抗衰老药物的背景化，并密切关注第一个职业序列，其特征是对传统的质疑-对抗疗法医学的传统-提供了抗衰老药物兴起背后的新视角。对主流医学的共同不满往往集中在医疗服务和医疗方面。而不是拒绝与生物医学相关的价值观，这是经常与替代健康爱好者的情况下（Siahpush 1998），那些使用抗衰老药物寻求一个“替代”生物医学，他们认为提供更满意的解决方案，他们的问题。
Abstract While anti-ageing medicine may be defined by efforts to control human aging, individual motivation to utilise anti-ageing medicine proves to be multifaceted. Qualitative, in-depth interviews with 15 people who have used anti-ageing medicine reveal that the turn to anti-ageing medicine may be more about disillusionment with allopathic medicine than it is about controlling bodily aging. By contextualising people’s use of anti-ageing medicine within their lifelong body regimen ‘careers’, and looking closely at the first career sequence, which is characterised by a questioning of tradition – the tradition of allopathic medicine – new perspectives behind the rise of anti-ageing medicine are offered. Shared grievances with mainstream medicine tend to be situated around both the medical delivery and the medical treatment. Rather than reject the values associated with biomedicine, as is often the case with alternative health enthusiasts (Siahpush 1998), those using anti-ageing medicine seek out an ‘alternative’ biomedicine that they perceive to offer more satisfactory solutions to their problems.
