Yale scientists reveal what really slows aging and what doesn't
Yale researchers have discovered that certain prescription drugs, healthy diets, and exercise can measurably slow biological aging, while popular anti-aging supplements appear largely ineffective. Their analysis of 51 studies could transform how scientists evaluate anti-aging treatments, although whether these biological changes actually extend life remains uncertain.
Yale researchers have found that certain prescription drugs, healthy diets, and exercise can measurably slow biological aging, as measured by DNA-based blood tests. According to ScienceDaily, the study involved an analysis of 51 studies and could transform how scientists evaluate anti-aging treatments.
In contrast, popular over-the-counter anti-aging supplements showed little evidence of producing measurable effects, according to ScienceDaily Health. While these findings, published in Nature Medicine, help identify which treatments influence biological age, researchers emphasize that changes in biological age markers do not necessarily mean that people will live longer or avoid age-related diseases.
