CFA Institute, a global organization of investment professionals, recently published four provocative articles showing how longevity trends are affecting people’s lifestyle, lifespan, workplace, and finances.

Longevity is reshaping cities and urban lifestyles to focus more on healthy aging, according to CFA. It looks at the five “blue zones” globally where people disproportionately live to age 100: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy, Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California. The article highlights common traits across these blue zones and points to the drive to intentionally replicate those conditions purposefully, though policy.

Another article discusses investing in healthspan, focusing on optimizing health and extending the number of years people can live without chronic diseases.

Whether older adults choose to work past the typical retirement age of 65 because they want to or they have to, digital literacy is “crucial,” according to CFA’s article on the topic. Strategies for improving tech competency are suggested, including mentoring colleagues and others.

The “financial reality” of living longer is addressed in another article. People’s chances of running out of assets and savings during retirement naturally increase if they live longer. CFA suggests that financial advisors can help mitigate the risks.
