Longevity Research Recasts the Goal as Healthspan, Not Immortality

Guidance centers on measurable science with warnings about unproven anti‑aging products.

Overview

  • Leading scientists stress keeping people healthy to the end of life rather than pursuing eternal youth, reframing public expectations.
  • Aging is described as a multifactor process involving telomeres, mitochondria and cellular recycling, with senolytic drugs showing promising results in animals.
  • Researchers are advancing biomarkers, non‑invasive imaging and prodromal symptom tracking to detect neurodegenerative and age‑related disease earlier.
  • Clinicians and coaches highlight practical steps such as high‑quality sleep, anti‑inflammatory eating, social connection and resistance training about three times weekly.
  • Consumer tech like wearables and light devices is being used to track behaviors, while experts caution about influencer claims, commercialized biohacking and abandoning proven care; public outreach continues with events such as Bienestar Fest.
