Population longevity & prevention
Life-course, demographic, social and preventive determinants of long and healthy lives.
Find the question you want to explore
Look beyond individual interventions to life-course, demographic and social patterns. Population differences can reveal useful questions without proving what causes them.
10 topic dossiers connect research, trials, universities, funding and patent activity. Coverage is still growing; numbers describe the indexed records, not all evidence worldwide.
Centenarian biology
Biology, resilience, and health patterns in exceptionally long-lived people.
Open evidence dossier →Healthy life expectancy
Expected years lived in good health, used to compare healthspan across populations.
Open evidence dossier →Lifespan inequality
Differences in age at death and healthy lifespan within and between populations.
Open evidence dossier →Sex differences in longevity
Biological and social explanations for female–male differences in lifespan and healthspan.
Open evidence dossier →Socioeconomic determinants of longevity
Income, education, occupation and neighbourhood conditions linked with lifespan and healthspan.
