Long Term Healthspan Metrics

Meaning

A collection of quantifiable biological and physiological markers used to assess the duration of a person’s life spent in good health and functional capacity, distinct from chronological age. These metrics move beyond traditional morbidity and mortality data to include functional indices, such as VO2 max, grip strength, cognitive processing speed, and biomarkers of biological aging like telomere length or epigenetic clocks. Clinicians use these metrics to track the effectiveness of longevity interventions and predict future health trajectory.
