Redefining Longevity

Meaning

Redefining Longevity is a fundamental conceptual shift in the health and wellness domain that moves the primary focus beyond merely extending the maximum human lifespan to prioritizing the extension of healthspan—the number of years lived in good health, free from chronic disease and functional disability. This redefinition emphasizes the sustained quality of life, robust vitality, and maintenance of functional capacity across the entire lifespan. It is the central philosophical and clinical tenet of modern, proactive longevity medicine.
