Super Agers. An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity

"A remarkable book... a blueprint for the future.” — Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies

At this turning point in the history of human healthcare, Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity is an evidence-based guide to the revolution reshaping human longevity. From his unique leadership vantage point as someone who makes multi-million-dollar research funding decisions, Dr. Topol explains how we can take advantage of the new treatments being developed and introduced at an accelerating pace, as well as the fundamental drivers—from semaglutides to artificial intelligence—that give us confidence these breakthroughs will continue.

More than a quarter of the adult population lives with two or more chronic conditions, a figure that rises to over half for people over sixty-five. Dr. Topol unlocks the potential of new approaches to the deadliest chronic diseases—such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions—and demonstrates how intervention can begin long before middle age as well as later in life. Thirty years from now, there will be five times as many centenarians, and they will be healthier thanks to the breakthroughs described in this book.

These remarkable discoveries offer genuine hope for human potential. Today, we can realistically imagine making significant progress in preventing age-related diseases. One day, we may even be capable of slowing down the aging process itself...
