Episode notes
Modern Causes of Death
- People are most likely to die from chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
- These "slow deaths" differ from historical "fast deaths" like infections and trauma.
Lifespan vs. Healthspan
- Lifespan is simply the length of life, while healthspan focuses on quality of life.
- Healthspan considers physical, cognitive, and emotional health, impacting longevity.
Medicine 2.0 vs. 3.0
- Medicine 2.0 focuses on diagnosis and treatment after disease onset, succeeding with fast deaths but failing with slow deaths.
- Medicine 3.0 prioritizes early prevention, addressing the limitations of Medicine 2.0's reactive approach to chronic diseases.
