✓Well SupportedThe speaker believes they can extend their lifespan by 10-15 years by implementing longevity practices.◐Partially SupportedThe goal of medicine 3.0 and prevention is to delay the onset of age-related diseases as much as possible.✕Not SupportedCurrent tools are insufficient to reverse aging processes like mitochondrial dysfunction, protein misfolding, DNA damage, and breakdown in nutrient sensing.◐Partially SupportedPharmacologically lowering ApoB to 20-30 mg/dL for everyone in their 20s could potentially eliminate death from atherosclerotic causes.Well Supported

Senescent cell clearance aims to compress the period of morbidity.

◐Partially SupportedIt is possible to be physically robust as a centenarian by avoiding death from heart disease, cancer, or neurodegeneration.

◐Partially SupportedPhysical frailty is a significant factor in aging, alongside heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration.

◐Partially SupportedDelaying cancer, neurodegeneration, dementia, sarcopenia, and arthritis is less certain than delaying ASCVD.

◐Partially SupportedIndividuals should focus on maintaining physical and cognitive robustness in their final decade of life, referred to as the 'marginal decade'.

◐Partially SupportedAchieving extreme longevity may involve understanding aging at a cellular level and the role of the epigenome.

◐Partially SupportedMaintaining physical capabilities in the 'marginal decade' is controllable and important for longevity.

◐Partially SupportedFocusing on primary and secondary prevention of disease is important for optimizing lifespan and healthspan.

◐Partially SupportedMost people would prefer to live to 90 in good health and die suddenly, rather than live to 120 with significant disability.

✕Not SupportedCurrent biohacking approaches are insufficient to achieve lifespans of 120-180 years because they cannot address the fundamental biological processes of aging.
