to delay death, we must delay the onset of chronic disease as long as possible, not figure out ways to live longer with chronic disease.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

there are two completely different strategies to live long one is figure out a way to extend the period of time you live once you have a disease and by the way that's everything medicine 2.0 does we're going to wait till you have a disease and we're going to figure out a way to just drag you through that and keep you from dying okay that strategy worked a little bit strategy two which is medicine 3.0 is no way we have to figure out the time we have to figure out a way to drag out the time you live without a disease
I don't think we're getting any healthier even if we're incrementally figuring out ways to extend life in the face of chronic disease I don't see it being a quality of life
One strategy might be let's figure out ways to live longer with chronic disease. Uh by the way that is the strategy that is largely employed today. That's the medicine 2.0 strategy. Um, But what I argue is I don't think that's a great strategy for longevity. I think for longevity, this right strategy is how can I live longer without chronic disease? Um, and therefore elongate the period of life that I am free of chronic disease.
