**An increase in healthy lifespans, through much better treatment of age-related diseases (dementia, heart disease, cancer, frailty, and many more), would deliver extraordinary benefits – including savings of literally trillions of dollars per year in healthcare costs.**
**Here, dozens of world-leading experts declare that such an advance is now potentially within reach, by targeting the underlying processes of aging, and that efforts to achieve it should be immediately and greatly expanded.**
***For millennia, the consensus of the general public has been that aging is inevitable.***
For most of our history, even getting to old age was a significant accomplishment – and while centenarians have been around at least since the time of the Greeks, aging was never of major interest to medicine.
That has changed. ***Longevity medicine has entered the mainstream.*** First, evidence accumulated that lifestyle modifications prevent chronic diseases of aging and extend healthspan, the healthy and highly functional period of life. More recently, longevity research has made great progress – aging has been found to be malleable and hundreds of interventional strategies have been identified that extend lifespan and healthspan in animal models.
***Human clinical studies are underway,*** *and already early results suggest that* ***the biological age of an individual is modifiable.***

P.S. Is it relevant to [r/poland](https://www.reddit.com/r/poland/)? I think it is – Poland is not only part of the world, but part of Europe, and pan-european ageing moonshot project will benefit all the states
