@LammingLab Even this graphic makes no sense for healthspan. Health = 0 at the same time as death, so healthspan = lifespan? That's not useful. Or are you suggesting something like AUC? Which is what I've been recommending for years... check out figure
@mkaeberleinpointed out that there is “no quantitative way to measure healthspan,” and in 2018 called for developing a healthspan metric allowing for statistical comparisons of healthspan https://t.co/QPTdVy9x1D
@davidjglassMD As @mkaeberlein has detailed, healthspan is a nebulous term: https://t.co/xNf0FtPIXn @Blagosklonny has also done some interesting writing on this: https://t.co/xduXIPtPhv
Why does this matter? Because if we aren't thoughtful about what healthspan is and how to assess it, we will fail to understand the biology of aging and potentially make mistakes that harm a lot of people https://t.co/GW6HXdcD8d
“What about healthspan?” Healthspan is a concept. It is not quantitative. Anybody who claims to have “extended healthspan” is claiming something that is not supported by statistics. It is a failure of the peer-review system that this is still allowed http

The concept of expanding the period of life spent in good health known as healthspan is a worthwhile endeavor with significant economic and social benefit. https://t.co/bcdP1WLjcv
Not much evidence for healthspan extension here, but if you take the whole literature, you can make that argument. Caveat that healthspan is a qualitative term, not quantitative, so we should all be careful about claiming increased healthspan https://t.c
@bolekkerous I also like "healthspan" as a concept but it gets misused in the field all the time, as if it is something quantitative that can be measured. Some thoughts on healthspan here: https://t.co/GW6HXdtGad
@venkmurthy @eluxoso But I suspect there will be a size-able minority for whom surviving isn't the issue but QoL will be diminished. This reminds me discussions on the measurement of healthspan https://t.co/szPEO9KgHb
@MattYousefzadeh percentage has been a practice so far, but I see yr point, 1 issue on one hand there's the pressure 2 switch from lifespan 2 healthspan see @sjayolshansky's https://t.co/GkSBY47Cul but on other hand there's scientific issues w/healthspan s

I would also like to encourage the use of “happyspan”, which I tentatively suggest can be defined as the area under the curve of a plot of @SusanEHowlett’s frailty index vs. age.
There was a spirited discussion at AGE2018 on the concept of healthspan, which Matt Kaeberlein beautifully reflects on in a recent article: https://t.co/1Z5jzYkato I've been meaning to share a few thoughts on "healthspan" from a clinician-scientist perspec

Healthspan is a neologism that refers to the period of life spent in good #health, free from the #chronic diseases and #disabilities of #aging. But just how #healthy is the concept of #healthspan? https://t.co/i3GJNE6KhA
The concept of improving #healthspan should continue to be an outward-facing point of emphasis for #geroscience in the future. https://t.co/19DPEK7hTB

How healthy is the healthspan concept? Commentary by @mkaeberlein on the need to formalize the definition of 'healthspan', a concept becoming popular in #aging research. Key points raised: 1. Health is not a binary trait. 2. Can we qualify 'healthspan'?
