How much of longevity is attributable to genetic factors, and how much to family history, biomarkers, lifestyle or environment?
What are the modifiable risk factors – diet, stress, exercise, medication, human connection, smoking, alcohol, the environment…?
How do we define “biological age?” Do we look at changes in metabolism…vulnerability to infection…immunologic status?
How does the physician’s perspective on aging compare with the perspective of the patient?
