What is Longevity?
Longevity simply refers to long life. In the U.S., life expectancy has increased dramatically since 1900, when the average lifespan was just 47 years. Today, people born in 2022 can expect to live 77.5 years.
Experts estimate that about 25% of the variation in human life span is determined by genetics. The remaining 75% can largely be attributed to how we take care of our bodies.
And that’s significant because longevity isn’t just about duration. Most of us don’t want to just live longer — we want to live longer while maintaining a good quality of life.
