Medical Mistake Steals Years of Healthspan Longevity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mistakes leading to lost health years are many, and led to decades of debate and confusion. It's the absence of a framework, explains Prof. Scott Fulton, author of the #1 Best Seller, FUNCTION, Turn Your Blind Spots into Strengths
Medicine focuses on disease, but active independence is dictate 2-to-1 by functional ability, not by disease.
Fitness claims to have the answer, but exercise doesn't convert to healthspan nearly as well as fitness advocates profess.
The answers are in the objective longitudinal studies that focus on the activities of daily living. Prof. Fulton's research enables individuals to measure where they are now, and what track they're on, decades ahead of well-established thresholds, with years to find a blind spot and get on track.
