SUMMARY
English Wikipedia biography of Ana Aslan, used in this bundle only for biographical framing facts: birth 1 January 1897 in Braila, death 20 May 1988 in Bucharest, her role as director of the National Institute of Geriatrics and Gerontology in Bucharest (1958-1988) and founder of the Bucharest geriatric institute, and the present-day status of the Gerovital brand (cosmetic products produced by Farmec and Miraj, with traditional procaine hydrochloride removed from the formula). Facts retrieved by direct fetch on 2026-06-03. The article carries an accuracy-dispute notice (flagged January 2019), so substantive medical and evidentiary claims in this bundle are anchored to the peer-reviewed sources (Aslan 1965; Ostfeld 1977; Perls 2013) rather than to Wikipedia, which is used only for dates, institutional placement, and the description of the surviving brand.
NOTES
This entry records the English Wikipedia biography of Ana Aslan, used narrowly for biographical dates, her institutional placement, and the present-day status of the Gerovital brand. The article carries an accuracy-dispute flag, so the bundle leans on the peer-reviewed literature for every medical and evidentiary claim and uses Wikipedia only where it is the convenient public record of dates and the surviving cosmetic brand.
