Translational Geroscience: Emphasizing function to achieve optimal longevity
Figure 5. Compression of physiological dysfunction with aging. Compression of physiological dysfunction (or rectan-gularization of function) with aging would allow function to be well maintained with advancing age, limiting the occurrence of major functional limitations to a period near the end of life, thus enhancing healthspan.
