Superlongevos - by Eric Topol (Paperback)

About the Book

Are we facing a decisive shift in how we understand aging? Is it possible not only to live longer, but to do so in better health and with a lower burden of disease? In Super Agers, Eric Topol analyzes the advances that are transforming the approach to major chronic diseases, from diabetes and obesity to heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. In a context where a growing portion of the population lives with several of these conditions, medicine faces a challenge that can no longer be resolved with late-stage treatments alone. The development of new therapies and the incorporation of technological tools into diagnosis and treatment design are accelerating changes that until recently seemed far off. These innovations allow for earlier intervention, the tailoring of treatments to each patient, and a reduction in the impact of age-related decline. Far from making empty promises, Topol places these advances in context and explains why the convergence of bioscience and technology opens a real path to delaying the onset of disease and extending the years lived in good health. The future of health is no longer just about adding years to life, but life to years.
