The 12 Hallmarks of Aging have become one of the most influential frameworks in longevity science. As longevity evolves into an emerging asset class—shaping healthcare, biotechnology, real estate, hospitality, and investment strategies—the Hallmarks of Aging provide a scientific lens for understanding what ultimately determines healthspan, brainspan, and performancespan.
