<prompt> All of the following are associated with increased aging, exceptDecreased cellular replicationIncreased superoxide dismutaseIncreased accumulation of free radicalsAccumulated mutation in somatic cells  <response>: Cellular aging is the result of a progressive decline in the lifespan and functional capacity of cells. Several mechanisms are thought to be responsible for cellular aging areDNA damage. A variety of metabolic insults that accumulate over time may result in damage to nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.Decreased cellular replication.Defective protein homeostasis Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th edition, page 26
