The Longevity Landscape: Value Creation for Healthy Aging

Abstract

Background: The global aging population underscores a critical need to tackle accompanying health and economic challenges, at all levels of society. This All-of-Society approach emphasizes the involvement of various stakeholders - governments, NGOs, researcher centers, private companies, local communities, and opinion leaders - to collectively promote healthy aging. However, how stakeholders enable healthy longevity remains unclear. Objective: This study examines how global stakeholders (governments, NGOs, researcher centers, private companies, local communities, and opinion leaders) create value towards healthy longevity. We identify the healthy longevity dimension of stakeholders' value propositions and examine alignment between their propositions as an indicator of shared goals. Methods: Following the All-of-Society approach, we analyzed the healthy longevity aspects of value propositions among the six classes of stakeholders (N=128). We (1) employed semantic topic modeling to identify the primary value proposition topics as related to healthy longevity and (2) computed proposition alignment using similarity networks. Results: Our analysis revealed varying degrees of alignment between stakeholders' healthy longevity propositions, with the lowest alignment observed for local communities and researcher centers. Conclusions: Findings underscore a key need to strengthen synergies between academic and community-based initiatives to promote translational science and highlight opportunities for strategic partnerships in the evolving healthy longevity field.
