Why Your Health at 60 Matters
Being healthy at 60 can be a positive sign, but it doesn’t guarantee a specific lifespan.
The World Health Organization emphasizes that healthy aging is about maintaining functional ability and well-being, rather than simply being free from every disease. Some older adults live active, fulfilling lives while managing one or more chronic conditions.
Researchers also distinguish between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy. The latter considers how many years a person can expect to live in relatively good health.
