People under the age of 39 can be considered young from a biological point of view. Olga Tkacheva, chief freelance geriatrician of the Russian Ministry of Health, stated this to TASS.

“Thirty-nine-year-olds can be considered young people, because life expectancy is increasing and age boundaries are shifting. People age more slowly in terms of functionality. They are very active for a long time and look good. If life expectancy increases, then it is clear that a person has more opportunities to study, gain new knowledge, a new profession, and make a career. A person will accomplish much more in his life,” the expert explained.

Let us remind you that now young people in Russia are considered to be residents from 14 to 35 years old. Previously aAcademician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, epidemiologist Gennady Onishchenko stated that raising the upper limit of the age of this category is an inevitable process, but only after life expectancy increases.
