Longevity
Longevity refers to the length of time that an individual lives, often measured in years. It is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, including diet, exercise, and healthcare access. Research in the field of gerontology seeks to understand the biological mechanisms of aging and to identify ways to extend healthy lifespan. Longevity is often associated with the concept of "healthspan," which emphasizes not just the duration of life but also the quality of life in later years.
