Healthy Ageing & Longevity
Longevity Medicine is an exciting area of preventive medicine focusing on promoting and preserving healthy and active years (healthspan) and lifespan. The goal is to optimise the quality and duration of healthy life years to the maximal it can be.
​
Ageing is the biggest risk factor for most diseases including cardiovascular disease, lung diseases, cancer, osteoporosis, dementia and other degenerative diseases of the brain and illnesses associated with frailty. Improvements in healthy life years could postpone these diseases and diminish the suffering they cause.
​
Some humans have lived to 120. In some countries, children born today will, on average live to over 100. Scientists have demonstrated it may be possible to extend healthy human life expectancy to a level longer than we all expect. More pathways that drive ageing are being researched and discovered. Soon prevention of illness will move towards precision focused individualised medicine. With the support of their doctors, individuals will actively monitor their health long in a precise way before illness develops.
