Practice of postponing human aging.
People want to be wealthy, attractive, young, and healthy, and they integrate these wishes into most of their activities. As a result, aging processes are somewhat postponed in the human organism. Both average life expectancy and expected life in good health increase by 0.15-0.2 years every year in most developed countries. Studies show that using contemporary knowledge enables an increase in life expectancy up to 90 years in these countries, and much more in the future. Increases in life expectancy depend on the interest of society in these problems and on the amount of scientific research directed at postponing aging and rejuvenation.
