Longevity

Longevity refers to the length of time that an individual lives or the duration of life. It is often associated with lifespan and the capacity to live for an extended period. In many contexts, longevity implies not only the quantity of years lived but also the quality of life during those years, emphasizing health, vitality, and the absence of chronic illnesses. The concept is frequently discussed in relation to aging, health sciences, and lifestyle factors that can influence how long individuals live. Additionally, longevity can pertain to the durability or lifespan of non-living things, such as products or technologies, where it signifies their lasting utility or reliability over time.
