Importance of Healthspan
While chronological age is just a number, healthspan should be the focus when it comes to longevity. People are living longer, but the quality of life during those extended years is decreasing. Chronic diseases are on the rise, and the average American spends their final 16 years in poor health, suffering from multiple chronic conditions. This not only leads to individual suffering, but also impacts family members and puts a strain on the healthcare system. Shifting our focus to healthspan can improve well-being, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance the overall human experience.
