Thanks to 21 st century science, people are living longer. And although it's true that, with age, the risk of chronic disease increases, Deborah Kado, MD, professor of medicine, says people age differently -- there's natural variability in individual health and ability as people get older. Living a longer, healthier life has little to do with

The Lifespan-Healthspan Gap Is the Greatest Health Challenge of the 21st Century. Since the dawn of the 20th century, humanity has experienced a rise in life expectancy unparalleled over our species' 300,000-year history. In 1900, a newborn could expect to live, on average, 32 years. By 2021, he or she had 71 years ahead of them.
