Is your body ageing well?

THERE is little doubt that we are living longer but the real question is, are we living well?

Department of Health reports show that life expectancy of Irish people has seen a rapid and unprecedented increase in the past 10 years: men can now expect to live until 76.8 years while women’s longevity extends to 81.6 years, compared to 64.5 and 67.1 years respectively 60 years ago.

But your age only tells part of the story when it comes to your health.
