Tkacheva's geriatrician spoke about expanding the boundaries of youth up to 39 years old

From a biological point of view, young people are under the age of 39, while life expectancy continues to grow. Olga Tkacheva, the chief freelance geriatrician of the Russian Ministry of Health, told about this on May 18.

"39-year-olds can be considered youth, because life expectancy is increasing, age boundaries are shifting. People age more slowly in terms of functionality. They are very active for a long time, they look good. If life expectancy increases, then it is clear that a person has more opportunities to study, gain new knowledge, a new profession, and make a career. A person will have a lot more time in his life," she told TASS.
