High-Function Lifespan Extension

Meaning

This is a goal in longevity medicine that seeks not merely to prolong chronological existence, but specifically to extend the period of life characterized by robust physical, cognitive, and metabolic performance. It focuses on maximizing healthspan—the duration of life spent in good health and functional capacity—rather than just extending the total lifespan. This concept prioritizes vitality, resilience, and the sustained ability to engage fully with life’s demands.
