Healthspan Metrics
Healthspan metrics are quantitative measures used to assess the length and quality of life spent in good functional health. These metrics evaluate physical performance, cognitive function, metabolic stability, immune competence, and independence. Unlike lifespan measures, healthspan metrics prioritize functional capacity and well-being. Aging is often accompanied by extended survival but prolonged morbidity. Healthspan metrics address this gap by capturing real-world functional outcomes. They are essential for evaluating aging interventions aimed at improving quality rather than merely extending life. Healthspan metrics aging research supports a shift toward outcome-based aging medicine focused on resilience, autonomy, and daily functioning. Understanding healthspan metrics enables evidence-based assessment of longevity strategies and public health planning.
