Longevity: Living Longer, Living Better
In the context of health, longevity means not just living longer, but living better—extending the years of life while also preserving energy, vitality, and quality of health.
Longevity refers to both the extension of lifespan and the preservation of healthspan—the period of life spent in good health, free from significant chronic disease or functional decline. It emphasizes delaying the biological processes of aging, maintaining physiological resilience, and optimizing quality of life across the lifespan.
Environmental conditions play a major role in determining both lifespan and healthspan. They influence how quickly we age, our risk for disease, the resilience of our biological systems, and also influence oxidative stress, inflammation, metabolic efficiency, and resilience against disease. Clean air and water, access to nutritious food, supportive social structures, and safe, activity-friendly surroundings all extend both lifespan and healthspan- while chronic exposure to pollutants, toxins, and stress accelerates biological aging.
