What about quality of life adjusted life years? I don’t want to live to 100 and be miserable for the last 30

But if you can get me 90 years where I feel like a spring chicken until 89, then that’s just fine.

Yes, the term is “health span” and that’s basically what everyone is talking about every single time you read an article on the subject.
