    This study redefines aging stages using technical human lifespan (TLSh) to encourage behavioral changes. Focusing on nutrition, health, and aging promotes a rectangular survival curve for better health outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology and Medical Science
    • Biostatistics and Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Current definitions of aging stages lack precision.
    • Achieving a rectangular survival curve is a key goal in longevity research.
    • Behavioral and attitudinal shifts are crucial for healthy aging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new taxonomy for middle-aged, aging, elderly, and aged based on technical human lifespan (TLSh).
    • To identify key areas for behavioral change to promote healthier aging.
    • To guide health professionals in targeting interventions across the life cycle.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a revised taxonomy for human aging stages.
    • Analysis of the relationship between redefined aging terms and behavioral change.
    • Identification of the core components influencing healthy aging.

    Main Results:

    • A novel classification system for aging phases is proposed.
    • Redefining aging terminology can initiate behavioral shifts.
    • Nutrition, health, and aging form an interconnected triad for intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed TLSh-based taxonomy offers a modern medical framework for aging.
    • Behavioral modifications targeting nutrition, health, and aging are essential for extending healthspan.
    • Health professionals should leverage this framework to optimize interventions throughout life.
