Life expectancy in
the US
Life expectancy is generally 82 years in
developed countries (US
-
France - Canada).
Consequently, most men and women aged 60 in 2022
will be dead in 20 years
if no prevention is applied.
The significant causes of mortality after 60
years are:
1. Diseases of aging that develop during the
last twenty years of life in the absence of
prevention
2. Cancer can develop in any organ.

Recent advances in
cancer research are already significant. For
example,
genomics makes it possible to study tumor
cells and use precision medicine.
However, this precision medicine that eliminates
cancer cells
will have to consider the prevention of diseases
of the aging body as a whole. Otherwise,
there will be no more cancer patients but a
degenerated population
with Alzheimer's disease, and
waiting to die.
