Degenerative Pathology Delay

Meaning

Degenerative Pathology Delay is a core objective in longevity medicine, defined as the clinical strategy of significantly postponing the onset and slowing the progression of age-related chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and metabolic syndrome. This concept moves beyond merely extending lifespan to specifically extending the healthspan—the period of life lived in good health and high function. Achieving this delay requires proactive, personalized interventions aimed at preserving cellular integrity and systemic function over time.
