Lifespan Extension Strategies

Meaning

A broad, multi-faceted discipline involving scientific and clinical interventions aimed at increasing the maximum chronological duration of an organism’s life. These strategies focus on modulating fundamental biological processes that govern aging, such as genomic stability, cellular metabolism, and systemic inflammation. While distinct from healthspan, successful lifespan extension inherently requires the delay or reversal of age-related disease pathology. This field is at the frontier of geroscience, utilizing both pharmacological and lifestyle protocols.
