Background: This review article emphasizes that metabolic health is crucial in promoting healthy aging, positively affecting physical, functional, and cognitive areas that enable individuals to enjoy fulfilling lives. It is predicted that healthy lifestyles, adopting exercise routines tailored to the individual physiological structure, eating nutritious diets, and acquiring socially engaged activities will contribute significantly to supporting healthy aging and longevity. Materials and Methods: In the search for scientific literature for this review, data from the US National Library of Medicine (PubMed), PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and SportDiscus were used, and the terms “metabolic health’’,’’ healthy aging’’, ‘’metabolic syndrome’’ ‘’ life quality’’, and “anti-aging.” were used. The relevant literature has also taken its source from researching relevant articles from reference lists derived from data searches. Results: Maintaining metabolic health is closely related to a healthy and long life. As individuals manage to maintain optimal metabolic markers, their body systems can effectively combat possible diseases and preserve organ functions for a long time, including the aging process. Conclusion: As a result, maintaining metabolic health directly affects healthy aging positively, providing quality life for many years. Healthy aging provides effective defense against chronic conditions while addressing all determinants involving physical components. However, metabolic health; as it can also ensure optimal preservation of mental health functions, ultimately contributes to longevity and high-quality life experiences.
