Biodemography

Biodemography is the study of how long people live and how this affects different parts of the world. It looks at factors like people’s age, gender, health, lifestyle, and environment that may impact how long someone lives. Scientists use biodemography to figure out how living longer can help people in different ways. This information can be used to help make sure people have access to better healthcare, medicine, housing, and food.
