Aging Mechanisms
The biological processes researchers use to explain why aging happens, including hallmarks, inflammation, and system-level decline.
Open branch →Healthspan Measures
The big-picture concepts used to frame aging well, including healthspan, lifespan, biological age, and functional capacity.

What Is Longevity?
Longevity means length of life. Longevity science asks what helps people live longer and spend more of those years in good health.
ArticleHealthspan vs Lifespan
Why the longevity field has shifted focus from how long you live to how well you live, and what that means in practice.
Glossary TermLongevity
The capacity to live a long, healthy life. In modern science, longevity refers not just to maximum lifespan but to the extension of healthspan, the years lived in full physical and cognitive health.
