Currently, the maximum lifespan of a human is 122, which was achieved by a French woman called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guinnessworldrecords.com\/news\/2024\/2\/oldest-person-ever-122-year-old-jeanne-calments-extraordinary-life-765016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeanne Calment<\/a>, who died in 1997.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life expectancy is the average age that a population will live and differs from country to country. According to the latest government release, the life expectancy in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/birthsdeathsandmarriages\/lifeexpectancies\/bulletins\/nationallifetablesunitedkingdom\/2022to2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UK is 83.0 years for females and 79.1 years for males<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These numbers are subject to change as genetics, environment, healthcare access and lifestyle can all influence longevity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-responsive-separator\" id=\"responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1\">\n    <div class=\"separator\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n    #responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1 {\n                    height: 20px;\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n                height: 30px;\n            }\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {\n                height: 40px;\n            }\n            }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Healthspan Mean?<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas lifespan is about the length of a life, healthspan is the time you spend in good health and without significant disease or disability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core factors that are looked at to determine healthspan include physical function, cognitive health, independence and quality of life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though these factors are commonly considered, there is no universally agreed measurement of healthspan by scientists or medical professionals. A study last year found that there are currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1568163725001527\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">187 unique healthspan definitions worldwide<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current healthspan in the UK is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/healthandsocialcare\/healthandlifeexpectancies\/bulletins\/healthstatelifeexpectanciesuk\/between2011to2013and2022to2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">60.7 years for males and 60.9 years for females<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-responsive-separator\" id=\"responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1\">\n    <div class=\"separator\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n    #responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1 {\n                    height: 20px;\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n                height: 30px;\n            }\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {\n                height: 40px;\n            }\n            }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthspan vs Lifespan: What Is the Difference?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Healthspan vs lifespan. They&#8217;re related but different. Your lifespan is the number of years you are alive; healthspan is the number of those years that you spend in good health.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that someone can have a long lifespan but spend many of their later years managing illness or disability, resulting in a shorter healthspan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the core of increasing lifespan and healthspan is the idea of compressing morbidity. This is a concept in public health where you aim to reduce, as much as possible, the period towards the end of your life where you are managing health issues and in hospital. If morbidity is decreased, that means the end-of-life decline is much shorter, and hopefully means you are healthy for longer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking at longevity, it\u2019s always important to remember that living longer doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll be healthy for that all that time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-responsive-separator\" id=\"responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1\">\n    <div class=\"separator\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n    #responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1 {\n                    height: 20px;\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n                height: 30px;\n            }\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {\n                height: 40px;\n            }\n            }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Influences Your Healthspan?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some factors that may influence the healthspan that you cannot control. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Age:<\/em><\/strong> If you are older and have gone through life changes, it may not have as large an effect on increasing healthspan. \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Genetics<\/em><\/strong>: Your genes can play an important part, as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2026\/jan\/29\/long-life-age-health-genetics-science-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent study found<\/a> that 50% of the variation in human lifespan may be related to genetics.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Chronic Conditions<\/em><\/strong>: If you live with serious conditions such as cardiovascular issues, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, this will impact your healthspan.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are factors, though, that you can control to affect your healthspan, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physical activity<\/strong> will keep your heart and lungs working better, improve bone strength and keep you more steady as you age.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nutrition<\/strong> is important, as you should eat a balanced diet to give your body the correct fuel, avoiding ultra-processed foods and not having too much sugar and fat.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sleep<\/strong> helps restore your body, boost your immune system, support your memory and leave you with more energy.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Limiting alcohol and tobacco<\/strong> is a must, as these can bring on lifelong avoidable health conditions.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preventative healthcare<\/strong>, like doing health screenings, getting vaccinations, and staying on top of existing conditions, will go a long way to helping your healthspan.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Social connection, reducing stress and looking after your mental health<\/strong> are also vital to your health as you age, as these help you have a sharper mind, reduce inflammation and have less mental strain. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\/item\/30-06-2025-social-connection-linked-to-improved-heath-and-reduced-risk-of-early-death\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A report from WHO<\/a> has even linked social connection to reducing the risk of early death.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-responsive-separator\" id=\"responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1\">\n    <div class=\"separator\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n    #responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1 {\n                    height: 20px;\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n                height: 30px;\n            }\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {\n                height: 40px;\n            }\n            }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Measure Your Healthspan?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single test that can determine healthspan.

There is a lot to research to find the best formula and method for boosting NAD+ levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are interested in how NAD+ may help, take a look at products in the NAD+ At Home range, <a href=\"https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/us\/product\/nad-at-home\/\">such as our injection kit<\/a>, for more helpful information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-responsive-separator\" id=\"responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1\">\n    <div class=\"separator\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n    #responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1 {\n                    height: 20px;\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n                height: 30px;\n            }\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {\n                height: 40px;\n            }\n            }\n<\/style>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NAD-AT-HOME-Products.webp\" alt=\"NAD+ AT HOME products range\" class=\"wp-image-51793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NAD-AT-HOME-Products.webp 600w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NAD-AT-HOME-Products-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NAD-AT-HOME-Products-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NAD-AT-HOME-Products-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NAD-AT-HOME-Products-64x64.webp 64w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NAD-AT-HOME-Products-128x128.webp 128w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NAD-AT-HOME-Products-256x256.webp 256w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NAD-AT-HOME-Products-100x100.webp 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nad-plus-supplements-250mg-capsules-tablets.webp\" alt=\"Liposomal NAD+ capsules supplement bottle with open container showing NAD+ capsules for cellular energy and healthy aging.\" class=\"wp-image-49094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nad-plus-supplements-250mg-capsules-tablets.webp 600w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nad-plus-supplements-250mg-capsules-tablets-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nad-plus-supplements-250mg-capsules-tablets-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nad-plus-supplements-250mg-capsules-tablets-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nad-plus-supplements-250mg-capsules-tablets-64x64.webp 64w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nad-plus-supplements-250mg-capsules-tablets-128x128.webp 128w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nad-plus-supplements-250mg-capsules-tablets-256x256.webp 256w, https:\/\/nadplusathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nad-plus-supplements-250mg-capsules-tablets-100x100.webp 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-responsive-separator\" id=\"responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1\">\n    <div class=\"separator\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n    #responsive-separator-block_0ada161e5c94c8d3057759546ba1d8e1 {\n                    height: 20px;\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n                height: 30px;\n            }\n                            @media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {\n                height: 40px;\n            }\n            }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical Ways to Support Healthy Ageing\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container-slim\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporting healthy ageing is nothing you should panic about.
