What is Longevity?
One of the most exciting advances in human health is the prospect of increasing longevity – not just increasing the span of life, but rather the length of life lived healthily. As our understanding of human biology has advanced in the past century, so has our ability to develop medical interventions to save and extend lives. The World Health Organization (WHO) cites that global life expectancy has increased by 6 years between 2000 to 2019. By 2050, the global life expectancy is estimated to increase an additional 4.5 years, leading to an average human life span of 78.1 years. And while life spans might be increasing, quality of life during those extra years has not seen the same increase, meaning that even though we are living longer, are not living healthy longer.
