Basics of Lifespan
Before discussing how sauna use may impact lifespan, let's define what we mean by lifespan. In simple terms, it refers to the length of time a living organism is expected to live based on factors such as genetics and lifestyle habits.
In humans, average lifespan varies across different countries, with Monaco having the highest average lifespan of 89 years for women and 84 for men and Lesotho having the lowest at 50 years (Development aid Organization, 2024). It is important to note that while genetics and epidemics HIV/AIDS do play a role in determining lifespan, lifestyle factors can also significantly influence longevity.
Now, let's dive into how sauna use fits into this equation.
