People want to live long, healthy lives. Previous surveys suggest very limited interest in much longer lifespans, but we show that stipulating good health changes responses to favor longer lives by an order of magnitude. Advances in aging research hold out hope for greatly slowed aging with associated good health. Understanding the public's desires correctly is important to avoid misallocation of resources for research.
人们希望过上长寿、健康的生活。此前的调查显示，人们对大幅延长寿命的兴趣非常有限，但我们发现，规定健康状况良好会使人们对延长寿命的支持度提升一个数量级。衰老研究的进展为大幅延缓衰老并保持相关健康状况带来了希望。正确理解公众的愿望对于避免研究资源的错误分配至关重要。
