Sustained Functional Lifespan

Meaning

Sustained Functional Lifespan refers to the total number of years an individual lives while maintaining a high level of physical, cognitive, and emotional independence and functional vitality, which is a metric distinct from mere chronological lifespan. This clinical goal focuses on extending the healthspan by proactively managing the primary biological drivers of age-related decline, particularly hormonal senescence, chronic inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. It is the measure of time spent in a state of superior physiological performance and sustained, high quality of life.
