Longevity

Longevity is a person’s ability to maintain health and vitality over a long period of time. Currently, it is one of the most pressing topics in the field of medicine and biology.

Longevity is a complex of various factors, including genetic, environmental, social and cultural. Genetic factors influence metabolic rate, rate of tissue regeneration, immunity and other processes that can affect life expectancy. Environmental factors such as pollution, diet and physical activity also play a role in determining life expectancy. Social and cultural factors determine access to health care, education, income levels, and other aspects that can affect how long we live.
