THE LONGEVITY ISSUE

A WORLD FULL OF CENTENARIANS

• Half of today’s 5-year-olds in wealthy countries are expected to live to 100. As researchers discovered in developing a new map for aging, society isn’t prepared.

INSIDE A SECRETIVE LONGEVITY LAB

• Retro Biosciences, a startup with $180 million from Sam Altman, has a simple and audacious goal: Add 10 good years to your life.

LONG LIVE SILICON VALLEY

• Growing old gracefully isn’t enough for those who want to be immortal. Meet the Biotechs, Wellness Obsessives and Radicals devoted to solving the problem.

THE ISLAND OF BETTER GENES

• Biohacker Bryan Johnson travels to a beachside resort in Honduras for a supposed fountain-of-youth injection. It is, of course, unapproved.

LEARNING FROM LAB RATS

• The rodents who are so important to medical research typically don’t reach old age. An unsung group of elderly mice and rats is the exception.

BUZZWORDS FOR SKINFLUENCERS

• Dermatologists warn that consumers should be wary of scientific-sounding skin-care routines on, say, TikTok. Sunscreen, anybody?

PAUSING MENOPAUSE

• A woman’s biological clock is a fact of life, but drugs may soon change that—extending fertility, yes, and also improving human health.

A HANDBOOK FOR BETTER AGING

• You’ve got questions about the golden years, and we’ve got answers. How to downsize, make new friends or even take a lover.

SO YOU WANT TO KEEP WORKING?

• Over the past seven decades, these jobs have had the most employees older than 65, including farmers, clergy, school bus drivers and funeral directors.

FIGHTING PARKINSON’S

• An alliance between Google founder Sergey Brin and actor Michael J. Fox is putting $350 million annually toward halting the progression of the neurological disease.

HOSPICE BY ALGORITHM

• It’s difficult for doctors to decide when a patient should stop treatment and start end-of-life care. What if artificial intelligence could help?

A SUPERCOOL EXPERIMENT

• At the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, more than 200 human bodies or heads are preserved at -321F. What does their $200,000 fee buy? Science fiction or something real?

LESSONS OF THE WORLD’S OLDEST BUSINESSES

• Some products and services never go out of style—truly. But if a 1,200-year-old restaurant can pivot to serve brunch, there’s hope for companies everywhere.
