An impressive new study from researchers at The Buck Institute for Research on Aging has found mice given supplements of an endogenous metabolite display significant healthspan improvements. The research follows on from other similar animal studies wit… Continue reading Promising naturally occurring anti-aging compound looks to human trials
A new meta-analysis, encompassing more than 20 studies, suggests daytime naps lasting more than 60 minutes can be linked to higher rates of all-cause mortality and poor cardiovascular health. Although the finding is only correlational, the researchers … Continue reading How long should a nap be? New study suggests keep it under an hour
A study from researchers at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) is providing new insights into a cellular energy pathway that has been linked to longer lifespan. The research, conducted in human cells and roundworms, raises the p… Continue reading Anti-aging enzyme discovery raises prospect of lifespan extension
Hot on the heels of a recently published genomic study correlating blood iron levels with healthy aging, more research is suggesting high systemic iron levels can be linked with reduced life expectancy. The current research does not prove a causal rela… Continue reading New evidence linking high iron levels with shorter lifespan
A large gene study has discovered several genomic regions linked to longer and healthier lives are also involved in metabolizing iron in the blood. The research suggests abnormal blood iron levels may fundamentally underpin many age-related diseases.

New research from the University of Utah Health, published in the journal Scientific Reports, is offering the fascinating suggestion that a person’s lifespan could be predicted at a young age by measuring the volume of genetic mutations they accumulate… Continue reading Counting DNA mutations predicts lifespan, raises hopes of reversing aging
It’s already a well-known fact that on average, women live longer than men. A European study, however, now indicates that the difference between male and female lifespans is even more pronounced in other types of mammals.Continue ReadingCategory: Biolo… Continue reading It’s not just humans – female wild mammals live longer than males
A provocative new study is suggesting a blood test tracking 14 different biomarkers can predict a person’s risk of dying within the next 10 years better than any conventional models. The research is still a long way off being broadly deployed… Continue reading Blood test to predict how likely you are to die within 5 to 10 years
