      Hiya 😀

      Oh surely! Life span has already incresed a lot if you look at the past.
      But you don’t have to consider just the “longer” factor, it is important is to age better. Because what’s the point in living 100+ years if you are unable to keep a good quality of life?

      Hi again Penguin,

      Definitely – people now are living longer than they were 50 years ago and that trend is still going. As Sara said, the focus of lots of research is on what we call ‘healthy aging’ – keeping people fit and active for as long as possible.
