Functional Longevity Extension

Meaning

Functional Longevity Extension represents a clinical and biological objective aimed at increasing the duration of an individual’s “healthspan”—the years lived in good health and full functional capacity—rather than merely extending chronological lifespan. This involves optimizing physiological reserve and mitigating the functional decline associated with aging, focusing on maintaining cognitive sharpness, physical strength, and hormonal vitality. The goal is to compress the period of morbidity, ensuring a higher quality of life into advanced age.
