Vitality Horizon

Meaning

The Vitality Horizon is a conceptual term representing the projected point in an individual’s future where their current trajectory of health and lifestyle choices is predicted to intersect with a significant decline in functional capacity and overall well-being. This construct is used clinically to motivate proactive health interventions by providing a tangible, personalized endpoint for their current physiological state. The goal of longevity medicine is to actively push this horizon further into the future, thereby extending the period of high-quality, disease-free life, known as healthspan. It shifts the focus from merely extending lifespan to optimizing the quality of those added years.
