a) Doing regular exercise to increase life span
b) Staying disease-free automatically leads to a long life
c) Maintaining quality of life and health, not just increasing age
d) Relying only on medicines for a long and healthy life
Answer: c) Maintaining quality of life and health, not just increasing age
The idea of "Ensuring Healthy Years, Not Just Long Years" means that the quality of life (health, activeness, happiness) is more important than simply the quantity of years (age).
For example:
If a person lives for many years but suffers from a chronic illness, their quality of life is low.
On the other hand, even if life is shorter, living it in a healthy, active, and happy way makes it healthier.
The goal is not just to live longer, but to live well.
