Healthspan Duration Maximization

Meaning

Healthspan Duration Maximization is the central objective of longevity medicine, defined as the proactive pursuit of extending the period of life spent in good health, free from chronic disease and age-related functional impairment. This goal prioritizes the quality of life and sustained physical and cognitive vitality over merely extending chronological lifespan. Achieving this maximization requires strategic, personalized interventions targeting the molecular hallmarks of aging, including genomic instability and cellular senescence. It represents a shift in clinical focus from treating illness to sustaining high-level wellness deep into later years.
