The Longevity List - answering the big questions about living a healthy, long life

Prof Merlin Thomas's new book, "The Longevity List"

“Modern life is slowly killing us. It’s ruining our chances at a hundred and beyond. We have to do something. But what should be on our longevity list when the health revolution comes?”

Merlin Thomas MBChB, PhD, FRACP is a Professor of Medicine in the Department of Diabetes at Monash University, Melbourne. Professor Thomas is both a physician and internationally recognised clinician-scientist working in the field of diabetic complications, but he has a broader interest in all aspects of preventive medicine and ageing.

His new book, “The Longevity List”, looks at each question on the ‘longevity list” further analysing why the list has become a health priority, and giving his scientifically backed verdict on what merit each question has.
