Longevity and ageing is new era for study, so these are interchangeable, what are major differences between these, how can we live remaining life with safe and free from chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, parkinson and Alzehmier disease, so give perfect opinions in these cases.
Longetivity is about time : the number of years we live. Aging is more about physiology : how our body is getting old.
This is an example from my mouse research. I tested how long the mice live if they are aggressive, non-aggressive or come from a strain we call normal Swiss albino. Longevity can go for the aggressive female mice which lived 1080 days but rapid aging for the non-aggressive male mice which lived about 500 days under the same conditions of food, water, housing and so on.
Its important to define the words exactly:
Definition of longevity
1a: a long duration of individual life The members of that family are noted for their longevity.b: length of life a study of longevity
Definition of age
verbaged; aging or ageing
intransitive verb
1: to become old : show the effects or the characteristics of increasing age
2: to acquire a desirable quality (such as mellowness or ripeness) by standing undisturbed for some time letting cheese age
Longetivity is about time : the number of years we live. Aging is more about physiology : how our body is getting old.
