Longevity refers to the length of time an individual lives, often with an emphasis on extending not just lifespan but also healthspan—the number of years spent in good health. Scientific research into longevity spans genetics, cellular biology, medicine, and lifestyle studies, seeking to uncover the mechanisms that drive aging and how they might be slowed or altered. From the role of telomeres and metabolic pathways to the impact of diet and emerging therapies, longevity science aims to understand and ultimately improve the quality and duration of human life.
