A study featured in Nature Communications by Daniel F. Jarosz et al. reveals that certain aging interventions not only extend lifespan but also compress morbidity. By steepening the survival curve, these treatments synchronize the decline in health, potentially increasing the proportion of life spent in good health. This insight opens avenues for targeted therapies in longevity.
