Human longevity refers to the length of human life and the biological, genetic, and environmental factors that influence survival to advanced ages. While improvements in healthcare and living conditions have increased average lifespan, individual longevity varies widely. Human longevity is shaped by a complex interaction between genetics, lifestyle, socioeconomic conditions, and exposure to disease. Long-lived individuals often exhibit delayed onset of chronic diseases, preserved physiological function, and enhanced stress resilience. Research in human longevity aims to identify protective biological mechanisms that support extended healthspan. Understanding human longevity helps shift focus from lifespan extension alone to improving quality of life and functional independence throughout aging.
