Why Aging Experts Are Obsessed With 'Health Span'

  • Increasing health span is also more in line with what many people want. "I can tell you that older people are not afraid of dying," said Dr. Luigi Ferrucci, a geriatrician and the scientific director at the National Institute on Aging. "What they are concerned about is that at some point they will become a burden for their family."

The article from The New York Times, titled "How to Extend Your Health Span," discusses strategies for aging gracefully and maintaining health into later years. It highlights the concept of "health span," which refers to the period of life spent in good health, free from chronic diseases and disabilities. Key points include the importance of lifestyle choices such as regular physical activity, a balanced diet rich in nutrients, adequate sleep, and mental health care. The article also touches on the benefits of social engagement and cognitive activities to keep the brain active. It mentions emerging research on interventions like caloric restriction and senolytics, drugs aimed at clearing out senescent cells that contribute to aging. Additionally, it emphasizes the role of preventive healthcare, regular check-ups, and vaccinations in extending one's health span. The overarching message is that while aging is inevitable, proactive health management can significantly enhance the quality of life in one's later years.
