Healthspan & Longevity
Explore the science of living longer and healthier lives through evidence-based approaches. This resource provides scientifically-validated information on the biological mechanisms of aging and practical interventions to extend healthspan.
Research Evidence: The field of longevity science has advanced significantly in recent decades. Researchers have identified key biological pathways that influence aging, and interventions targeting these pathways have extended lifespan in model organisms by 20-40%. Human studies increasingly suggest that these approaches may translate to improved healthspan—the period of life spent in good health—through lifestyle modifications and emerging therapeutic strategies.
