A patient I saw who was 98 and had never been sick inspired me to explore why some individuals are outliers in aging and health.

The big three age-related diseases—cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's—are exacerbated by age, and understanding the biology of aging could lead to breakthroughs in prevention.

Artificial intelligence will help us discover the genetic basis of aging, potentially leading to the identification of the 'Fountain of Youth' and the ability to reverse aging.

Most gains in life expectancy have come from older individuals, not just those over 80, but also those in their 60s and 70s.

Research on life extension is challenging due to the lack of clear endpoints in human studies, making it difficult to measure the impact of interventions on longevity.

Aging is caused by the buildup of genetic errors, and if we can fix these errors, particularly in the mitochondria, we could achieve immortality.

By around 2032, we will have made enough progress in scientific research to effectively stop aging, allowing people to live without the fear of dying from age-related causes.

We are now able to measure various biological factors, including the gut microbiome and epigenetics, which can help us understand aging better.

By the early 2030s, scientific progress will allow us to regain more than a year of longevity for every year lived, effectively reversing aging in a significant way, while powerful AI could accelerate biological discoveries by at least ten times, potentially giving us 50 to 100 years of biological progress in just 5 to 10 years.
