Humans have always dreamed of living longer and healthier lives. Now, a surge of investment in anti-aging research is accelerating the quest to make it a reality. Researchers are focused on three principal areas of investigation – eliminating old cells, identifying substances that delay aging, and rejuvenating old cells. The results suggest exciting breakthroughs could be just around the corner. But as one expert explains, the new approaches are not without risk. In Japan, where people enjoy long lifespans, a study of centenarians is also shedding light on the biological, lifestyle and social factors that may be crucial to enjoying happier and more fulfilling lives in old age. And even beyond that stage, when care becomes indispensable, technology is ensuring people can still get the most out of the years they have left. We take a look at the latest efforts to help humans enjoy longer and healthier lives.
