Why Americans Live 10-15 Years Less Than Other Countries w/ Dan Buettner | EP #107
Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Exploring Blue Zones and Health Adjusted Life Expectancy
Blue Zones represent regions where people have the highest likelihood of living to 90 years or older, highlighting the importance of longevity. A recent metric, health adjusted life expectancy (HALE), emerges from the global burden of disease project, focusing on years lived in good health, free from chronic illnesses and disabilities. This concept shifts the focus from merely living longer (lifespan) to living well (health span), underscoring the goal of leading a fulfilling and health-rich life until the very end. Notably, many Americans currently forfeit 10 to 15 years of potential extra life expectancy due to their lifestyle choices, emphasizing a significant gap between possible and actual health and longevity.
