Abstract

The increasing lifespan without a corresponding increase in healthspan presents a significant challenge. This review explores the genetic components of human longevity, focusing on studies with well-defined populations. It highlights five consistently longevity-associated pathways: (1) insulin/IGF-1 signaling, (2) DNA damage response and repair, (3) immune function, (4) cholesterol metabolism, and (5) telomere maintenance. Future research should prioritize identifying and functionally characterizing rare genetic variants within these pathways.
