Olga Tkacheva, chief independent geriatrician at the Russian Ministry of Health, said that from a biological point of view, those who have not yet turned 39 can be considered young.
According to her, this is due to increased life expectancy and slowing down the aging process.
— People aged 39 years can be considered young, because life expectancy is increasing and age boundaries are changing. People age more slowly in terms of functional performance. “They are very active for a long time and look good,” Tkacheva said.
According to her, as life expectancy increases, a person has more opportunities to study, acquire new professions and build a career. He achieves a lot in his life. Let us remind you that in Russia, citizens between the ages of 14 and 35 are officially considered young people, according to reports TASS.
Tkacheva previously said that tracking cholesterol and glucose levels, conducting preventive examinations, physical activity, and abandoning bad habits increases a person’s chances of living to 100 years. According to the doctor, the most effective way to prolong life is to change your lifestyle.
