INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
What if the greatest breakthrough in longevity isn't slowing aging—but preventing disease before it begins?
In this episode of Decoding Longevity, we speak with Professor Linda-Gail Bekker, one of the world's leading experts in HIV prevention, tuberculosis research, and global public health. Together, we explore how HIV research has transformed our understanding of longevity, from restoring life expectancy through antiretroviral therapy to preventing infection with groundbreaking advances like Lenacapavir.
We discuss healthspan versus lifespan, chronic inflammation, accelerated biological aging, health equity, and why prevention may be the most powerful longevity intervention of all. This conversation offers a compelling look at how advances in infectious disease research are shaping the future of healthy aging.
