随着人口向老龄化世界的转变接近其最后阶段，人类的老龄化即将经历一个根本性的变化。近几十年来，科学家们对生物衰老过程有了足够的了解，许多人认为有可能减缓人类的衰老。我们认为，这些进步所带来的社会、经济和健康效益可以被认为是“长寿红利”，应该作为21世纪促进健康和预防疾病的新方法积极加以追求。政府、国家和国际医疗保健组织将健康老龄化研究作为主要研究重点的时机已经到来。
The aging of humanity is about to experience a radical change as the demographic transformation to an older world is approaching its final stage. In recent decades, scientists have learned enough about the biological aging processes that many believe it will become possible to slow aging in humans. We contend that the social, economic, and health benefits that would result from such advances may be thought of as "longevity dividends," and that they should be aggressively pursued as the new approach to health promotion and disease prevention in the 21st century. The time has arrived for governments and national and international healthcare organizations to make research into healthy aging a major research priority.
