What's so revealing about the report is that "Each city ranking is more than just a number," says Dr. Keith Roach, MD, our Chief Medical Officer and a co-creator of The RealAge Test®. "It's a unique assessment of the healthy lifestyles, or lack of them, in that metro area. The truth about aging is that you, right now, have within your control the ability to live longer than expected (today's life expectancy is about 75 for men and 80 for women), with a greater quality of life. Aging is inevitable; the rate of aging is not."
