Research is an integral part of any health science. Ayurveda being science of life also needs of continued research to extrapolate the concepts and approaches. Apart from that, should we consider the health vs life, both sciences make a real effect. Life expectancy has been a topic of great interest now a days and need of debate since antiquity. Pramana sharir vs anthropometry draws a clear line of distinction ascertaining the health and life of an individual based on accumulated data. It has become more relevant in current era. Human resource is vital to growth of any country, so health care professionals, scientists, industry partners & economists as well are pondering over the issue to enhance the healthy lifespan and increase productivity1. Ayurveda has provided an operational framework for assessment of Ayu-praman and enumerated Ayu janak & Ayu vighatakar factors which needs to be analysed & to be adopted with a personalized approach. The current review is an attempt to view the life expectancy in modern biology perspective followed by the compressive approach of Ayurveda descriptions. Finally, the factors effecting longevity and methods to achieve optimum healthy life span are discussed.
