"The New Science of Aging Can Predict Your Future": Misleading title but 💡excellent opinion article in the The New York Times today by Eric Topol, MD ahead of his upcoming book "Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity"(link).

TL;DR: "[...] most people don’t simply want to live until 110. They want to extend the amount of time they live free of serious disease, a concept known as health span. That’s why the most sensible approach is to reduce the toll of three major age-related diseases: cancer, heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. It may be less flashy, but it’s more attainable than ever." "Getting an injection of youthful blood or taking the latest trendy anti-aging supplement might seem like a shortcut to a longer life. But extending the years people live without the burden of major age-related diseases is what should be a national priority."
