Abstract in brief

Advances in life expectancy raise critical questions about the best strategies for promoting health, specifically whether to focus on improving quality of life or simply extending lifespan.
Research indicates that improving health and compressing morbidity provides greater economic benefits than merely increasing life expectancy.
Targeting aging itself may yield larger financial returns than efforts focused solely on eradicating specific diseases, with significant economic values associated with even small increases in life expectancy.

@bueti Moonshot to end aging and age-related diseases also helps. Just try to fund science. $20bn/year to $100bn/year would be a nice try. Longevity science is also hugely profitable economically: https://t.co/KZiO2IYDX2 https://t.co/PlZ5BHlkaV
