What is healthspan?
The years you live in good health, as opposed to lifespan, which is how long you live overall.
• Staying ahead of it / Healthspan
Lifespan is how long. Healthspan is how well.
Most people don't just want more years. They want to stay strong, clear-headed and independent for those years.
The average American gap between lifespan and healthspan is 12.4 years, the widest of 183 countries studied (Garmany & Terzic, JAMA Network Open, 2024).
