You have a new book coming out, Super Agers. What I love about this book is that it's evidencebased, not hyperbole or theory, and it talks about real data and how to help people.

When I was growing up I saw many relatives die young, so I wondered if I was doomed. That's why we did the Welderly study, finding 1,400 people around age 89 who never got sick and weren't on medication, and we sequenced their genomes to see why they're Super Agers.

There's a small genetic component, but it's far less than we assumed, which was liberating; the real answer seems to be lifestyle, diet, exercise, sleep and purpose.

In Super Agers I reviewed how the immune system is a huge factor - immunosenescence and inflammaging drive agerelated disease, and many Super Agers simply have a robust immune response.

A Super Agers book is the fourth book I've written about the future of medicine, continuing the evidencebased approach to prevention and longevity.
