在我国古代的传说中,寿星彭祖据说活了800岁,这种高龄的神话寄托了人们对健康长寿的千年梦想。直到今天,人们也依然没有放弃对这一梦想的执着追求。无论是医学界对延年益寿的科学研究,还是民间对于养生长寿的话题探讨,都从未停止过。获得长寿当然是件好事,可近些年越来越多的事实表明,活得久其实并不是衡量生命质量的惟一指标,活得又好又久才是。而这也衍生出了一个新的问题:寿命≠健康寿命。对于人类来说,生命的长短并不是最重要的,健康的寿命才真正值得期待和追求。 In ancient China’s legend, the birthday of the ancestor Peng Zu is said to have lived 800 years. This myth of old age pinpointed the millennium dream of health and longevity. Until today, people still did not give up the persistent pursuit of this dream. Both the medical community for longevity of scientific research, or folk for the topic of longevity discussion, have never stopped. Of course, getting longevity is a good thing. In recent years, more and more facts show that living for a long time is not the only measure of the quality of life. This also led to a new problem: life ≠ healthy life expectancy. For mankind, the length of life is not the most important, healthy life expectancy and the pursuit of truly worth.
