Inside the Longevity World Cup’s Quest to Delay Aging
Longevity science has a long history, dating back to the 1900s when people practiced gerontology, the scientific study of aging. In this era, scientists embarked on a study of the mortality and aging patterns in different organisms. Through the 20th century and early 21st century, aging research evolved into what we now know as longevity science, a science that goes beyond extending lifespan. Longevity science stands out for its specific focus on extending healthspan – the period of life we spend in good health.
This branch of science has birthed various interventions to help us in the race against time. These include caloric restriction, genetic research, and biomarker-driven personalized medicine. And now, with the recent launch of the Longevity World Cup, Adam Ficsor is fueling the discovery of even more techniques to reverse aging.
