Why Healthspan Matters More Than Lifespan
Most people want to live longer.
But longevity experts increasingly ask a different question:
How many of those years will be lived in good health?
Healthspan refers to the years of life spent free from major disease, disability, and loss of independence.
The goal of modern longevity medicine is not simply to increase lifespan, but to extend healthspan.
Living to 90 has little value if the last 20 years are marked by chronic disease and declining function.
Healthy aging focuses on preserving physical capacity, cognitive function, metabolic health, and quality of life for as long as possible.
