Longevity
**Longevity** refers to the length or duration of an individual's life, often used to describe especially long-lived individuals or populations. It is influenced by genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, including diet, exercise, and access to healthcare. Longevity is studied in demography, gerontology, and biology to understand aging processes and factors that contribute to extended lifespan. Certain species and human populations, such as those in "Blue Zones," are noted for exceptional longevity. Research continues to explore interventions that may promote healthy aging and increase lifespan.
