The Biology of Longevity vs. Frailty: Why Do We Age Differently?

Why do some people remain vibrant well into their 90s while others experience rapid decline? In this video, we break down the science of longevity and frailty, exploring the biological mechanisms that govern how we age. We dive into the Geroscience Hypothesis, the key hallmarks of aging (from telomere attrition to cellular senescence), and the crucial difference between lifespan and healthspan. You’ll also discover how clinical frailty is measured and why targeting the root biology of aging is the future of preventative healthcare. 📌 Timestamps & Topics Covered: 0:00 - Why Do We Age Differently? 0:15 - The Geroscience Hypothesis Explained 0:32 - The Biological Hallmarks of Aging (DNA Damage to Senescence) 1:23 - Lifespan vs. Healthspan: Defining True Longevity 1:44 - Key Factors Influencing Longevity (Genetics, Lifestyle & Environment) 2:10 - What is Frailty?
